Summary

Cape View Elementary School in Cape Canaveral, FL, is a small school serving 273 students from Pre-K through 6th grade within the Brevard school district, and it presents a unique mix of strengths and challenges that parents should know about.

One of the most notable features of Cape View is its split academic performance. The school excels in its upper grades, with 74% of 6th graders proficient in English Language Arts and 64% in Math, matching or exceeding district and state averages. Science scores are also a consistent bright spot, with 68% of 5th graders proficient. However, 4th-grade performance is a significant concern, with only 29% proficient in ELA and 32% in Math—well below the district averages of 61% and 62%. This pattern has persisted for two years, suggesting a systemic issue rather than just a single challenging class. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 to 1, which is much smaller than nearby schools like Emma Jewel Charter Academy (20.5) or Endeavour Elementary School (14.9), and it spends a higher-than-average $16,099 per student.

Despite these assets, Cape View faces serious hurdles. Chronic absenteeism is a major issue, with 23.6% of students missing too much school in 2023-2024—far higher than the district average of 21.1% and dramatically above top-performing neighbors like Freedom 7 Elementary School Of International Studies (4.3%) and Robert L. Stevenson Elementary School (6.3%). This rate has been persistently high for four years. The school also has a moderate level of economic diversity, with 52.75% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. While Cape View cannot control its demographics, the contrast with nearby Freedom 7—a 5-star school with a 10.54% free/reduced lunch rate—highlights the challenges it faces. The school’s state ranking has dropped from the 62nd percentile to the 34th percentile in four years, indicating that these issues need urgent attention.
