Summary

James Madison Middle School in Titusville, FL, is a public school serving 447 students in 7th and 8th grade as part of the Brevard County School District. This school has undergone a remarkable turnaround in recent years, climbing from a 1-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year to a 3-star rating for 2024-2025, and now ranks in the 61st percentile statewide—a jump of nearly 400 spots in just three years.

The most impressive improvement is in 8th-grade math, where proficiency soared from 18% in 2023-2024 to 67% in 2025-2026, now exceeding both the district (62%) and state (61%) averages. This is a stark contrast to nearby Andrew Jackson Middle School, which saw 8th-grade math proficiency drop from 44% to 43% over the same period. James Madison also excels in advanced math, with 74% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 78% in Geometry—both well above district and state averages. However, a persistent challenge is chronic absenteeism, which stood at 38.3% in 2023-2024, nearly double the district rate and the highest among nearby schools except Corner Lake Middle.

Despite these gains, the school shows a clear divide in performance. While 8th-grade math and advanced courses are strengths, only 35% of 7th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, a 32-point gap from 8th grade. This pattern is also seen at Andrew Jackson Middle and Chiles Middle School, suggesting a regional challenge. James Madison spends $13,643 per student, the highest among comparison schools, likely investing in interventions to address its historical struggles. While the school is effectively accelerating top-tier students, it is still working to raise the floor for average performers, with chronic absenteeism likely a key barrier to even greater success.
