Summary

Ralph M Williams Junior Elementary School in Rockledge, FL, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 436 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Brevard school district, and it stands out as a stable, above-average performer with a strong upward trend.

This school offers exceptional value by delivering solid academic results despite higher spending per student ($14,945) compared to top-performing neighbors like Manatee Elementary School ($9,806) and Viera Elementary School ($9,499). With a 79th percentile state ranking, Ralph M Williams outperforms what its economic diversity (39% free/reduced lunch) might predict, especially when compared to Hans Christian Andersen Elementary School (45th percentile, 56% free/reduced lunch). A key differentiator is its remarkably low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1, significantly lower than high-performing peers like Manatee (16.2:1) and Viera (15.5:1), allowing for more individualized attention. The school also manages chronic absenteeism well at 13.6%, far below the district (21.1%) and state (31.4%) averages, indicating a positive school culture.

Ralph M Williams shows a clear pattern of strengths and areas for growth. Math is a standout subject, with proficiency rates of 82% in 3rd grade and 84% in 6th grade, all well above state averages. English Language Arts (ELA) is more mixed, with 5th grade ELA at 66% being the weakest relative performance. However, the school has achieved a remarkable turnaround in 5th grade science, jumping from 44% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 73% in 2025-2026—a 29-point increase in two years. After a dip during the 2021-2022 school year, the school has shown three consecutive years of improvement, climbing from the 68th to the 79th percentile, suggesting effective leadership and a strong upward trajectory.
