Summary

Apollo Elementary School in Titusville, FL, serves 596 students in grades PK-6 within the Brevard County School District, a district ranked in the 66th percentile statewide. However, Apollo itself has been a significant underperformer, earning a 1-star rating for four consecutive years and ranking in the 14th percentile (1929 out of 2240 schools) in the most recent data. The school faces serious challenges, with test scores consistently below district and state averages across most subjects and grade levels. For example, only 36% of 5th graders were proficient in Science, compared to 64% in the district and 60% statewide. The most critical issue is an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.9%, which is 56% higher than the district average and dramatically worse than nearby top-performing schools like South Lake Elementary (7.0%) and Enterprise Elementary (14.7%).

Despite serving a high-poverty population (63.42% free/reduced lunch), Apollo’s struggles are not solely explained by economic disadvantage. Nearby schools with similar or higher poverty rates, such as Coquina Elementary (70.17%) and Mims Elementary (68.19%), achieve better academic results. Furthermore, Apollo’s per-student spending has risen to $13,444—higher than that of high-performing neighbors like South Lake Elementary ($11,406) and Enterprise Elementary ($11,431)—yet this investment has not translated into improved outcomes. The stark contrast with South Lake Elementary, located just 2.44 miles away and boasting a 5-star rating with only 7% chronic absenteeism, highlights a deep divide within Titusville, suggesting neighborhood-level factors are at play.

There is one notable bright spot: Apollo’s 6th graders consistently outperform the rest of the school. In the most recent data, 64% were proficient in English Language Arts (vs. 62% statewide) and 65% in Math (vs. 60% statewide). This success provides a clear proof-of-concept that higher achievement is possible at Apollo and should be studied and replicated in lower grades. However, the school’s future depends on a radical, community-focused intervention to tackle chronic absenteeism, which must be the top priority before any academic reforms can take hold. The 6th-grade anomaly offers a glimmer of hope and a potential model for change.

Open Quote The principal only cares about AWARDS! None of the faculty cares whether or not a child gets another slice of pizza, just hurry up, shut your mouth, and eat! The teachers’ are inconsiderate to the needs of restroom breaks and also tells the children they're writing is heartless! I wish they could hire teachers that cared and a principal more worried about the welfare of kids then another AWARD on the wall! I had high expectations and I am very let down. Every parent meeting I have been to has always been a sales pitch after sales pitch! I prefer for my child not to come home in urine soaked clothes and my daughter to come home not in tears because her teacher said her writing was heartless. Close Quote
