Summary

Lockmar Elementary School is a public elementary school in Palm Bay, Florida, serving 601 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 23 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lockmar Elementary faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19.3% to 31.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are also generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Lockmar's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 46%, compared to 58% for the district and 57% for the state. Additionally, Lockmar has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.8% to 62.5% over the past few years.

When comparing Lockmar to nearby schools, such as Meadowlane Intermediate Elementary School, Meadowlane Primary Elementary School, and John F. Turner Senior Elementary School, Lockmar generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. Additionally, Lockmar's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 421 out of 2,064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a low of 1,162 out of 2,258 in 2024-2025. While Lockmar's relatively high spending per student and student-teacher ratio may indicate a focus on resource allocation and staffing, the school's performance metrics suggest that these resources may not be translating into improved academic outcomes for students.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, October 30, 2011

My daughter is in kindergarten at Lockmar Elementary School in Palm Bay, FL, and she was in a private preschool from the time she was almost 3 so she participated in the Florida VPK program. I have thus far been happily impressed that this school has lived up to its reputation. She is already doing simple reading two months in and is very much enjoying school, whereas the preschool she was in before did not inspire nearly such a drive to excel. All the teachers I have spoken with and dealt with have inspired my trust and confidence, and are very pleasant and yet you can tell they take their jobs seriously. So far, a five star experience.
