Summary

Lewis Carroll Elementary School in Merritt Island, FL, is a consistently high-performing public school serving 634 students in grades PK-6 within the Brevard School District, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for ten consecutive years. This school stands out as a top choice for families, especially when compared to many nearby schools that struggle with lower ratings and higher absenteeism. For instance, while Lewis Carroll has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 15.1%—less than half the state average—schools like Fairglen Elementary School (34.8%) and Endeavour Elementary School (36.9%) have rates more than double that. This strong attendance is a key driver of academic success, and Lewis Carroll delivers exceptional results, particularly in 6th grade, where 91% of students were proficient in both English Language Arts and Math in the 2025-2026 school year—nearly 30 percentage points above the state average.

What makes Lewis Carroll particularly impressive is its efficiency: it spends $11,099 per student, significantly less than lower-performing peers like Mila Elementary School ($18,217) and Fairglen Elementary School ($15,068), yet achieves far better outcomes. This suggests strong leadership and effective resource use. However, the school is not without areas for attention: 5th-grade math proficiency dipped to 54% in 2025-2026, below both district and state averages, a pattern that has appeared in prior years. This contrasts with the school's otherwise stellar math scores in 3rd, 4th, and 6th grades, indicating a potential curriculum challenge that parents may want to discuss with teachers.

Compared to its closest neighbor, Robert L. Stevenson Elementary School (just 1.75 miles away), Lewis Carroll serves a more diverse student body, with 37% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch versus Stevenson's 16%. While Stevenson is a 5-star school ranked in the top 3% statewide, Lewis Carroll's strong performance with a higher-poverty population demonstrates its effectiveness in supporting all learners. For parents seeking a reliable, high-value school in a region with significant academic disparities, Lewis Carroll Elementary is a standout choice that balances excellence with accessibility.
