Summary

Hans Christian Andersen Elementary School in Rockledge, FL, is a public school serving 480 students in grades PK through 6 as part of the Brevard County School District. The school currently holds a 2-star rating, placing it in the 45th percentile statewide, and serves a moderately high-needs population with 55.62% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Andersen sits in a unique competitive middle ground, surrounded by schools with vastly different performance levels. It is less than 3 miles from Ralph M. Williams Junior Elementary (4-star) and Manatee Elementary (5-star), both of which significantly outperform it, while also being near Golfview Elementary Magnet School (0-star), one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. The school has a clear strength in 5th Grade Math, where it has outperformed both district and state averages for three consecutive years, with 63% of students proficient in the most recent year. Conversely, 3rd Grade Math is a significant weakness, with only 56% of students proficient—10 percentage points behind the state average. A notable bright spot is 6th Grade English Language Arts, which has improved dramatically from 41% proficiency three years ago to 69% now, exceeding the state average.

While the school's per-student spending has increased 47% over three years to $13,723—higher than top-performing neighbors like Manatee Elementary ($9,806)—this has not yet translated into a broad improvement in overall ranking. Chronic absenteeism, however, is a positive story: at 17.1%, the school's rate is better than the district average of 21.1% and significantly better than the state's 31.4%. The school also experienced a remarkable peak in 5th Grade Science in 2023-2024, with 67% proficiency, though that has since declined to 55%. Overall, Andersen offers a mixed picture of strong individual subject performance and targeted challenges, making it a school worth investigating further for families who value specific academic strengths.

If you have any other options nearby, take them. This school is rough. The kids are loud, rambunctious, mean, rude...and then there are the teachers and staff. I dealt with 2 kindergarten teachers that were obviously over teaching and would rather hit the bottle every night and the school counselor couldn't care less about students or parents. Rude rude rude! And good luck getting a phone call returned. We left and will never return. My son is already less stressed and he's in a summer camp at a school down the street. Andersen was so loud and stressful. Ugh. So glad to be out of there! So unprofessional. Make the extra arrangements and take the extra time to drive to a school south of Andersen. You won't regret it. Close Quote
