Summary

Quest Elementary School in Melbourne, FL, is a high-performing public school serving 687 students in grades PK-6 within the Brevard School District, and it has a long history of academic excellence, historically ranking in the top 5% of Florida elementary schools.

Quest consistently outperforms both district and state averages in every subject and grade level, with standout results like 91% proficiency in 6th-grade English Language Arts and 90% in Math. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.6%, which is less than half the district average and a third of the state average, indicating strong family-school engagement. However, Quest faces increasing competition from nearby Viera Elementary School, which has surged ahead in state rankings and now outperforms Quest in nearly every subject. While Quest remains a top-tier choice, its state ranking has seen a slight decline from its peak, and its 5th-grade math scores showed a notable drop, suggesting areas for focus.

Quest achieves its strong results with moderate spending ($11,732 per student) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.7:1, making it highly efficient compared to peers like Sherwood Elementary School, which spends more per student but has lower academic performance. The school also holds its own against local charter schools, such as Viera Charter School and Pinecrest Academy Space Coast, with Quest's 5th-grade science scores (71%) competitive with or exceeding theirs. Overall, Quest is a historically excellent school that provides a top-tier education, especially for its 6th-grade students, but families should note the shifting dynamics with Viera Elementary as the new top-ranked school in the area.

My experience has been with a pre K class. One of the teachers is horrible and doesn't teach at all. The kids wander around and no real directed learning takes place. If you want your child to be educated during pre K do NOT attend Quest. They would learn more from PBS. Close Quote
