Summary

Cocoa High School is a public school in Cocoa, FL, serving 1,432 students in grades 7 through 12 as part of the Brevard school district, where a high percentage of students (64.39%) come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Academically, Cocoa High School is a low-performing school with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the bottom quarter of Florida high schools for the past decade. Its proficiency rates are dramatically lower than nearby schools. For example, only 32% of students were proficient in Algebra 1, compared to 96% at Edgewood Junior/Senior High School and 75% at Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School. The graduation rate of 80.3% is over 12 percentage points below the district average of 92.7%, while nearby schools like Edgewood (100%) and Viera High School (98.6%) have near-perfect rates. Chronic absenteeism is a severe issue, with 25% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024, compared to just 9.9% at Edgewood. Interestingly, the school spends $12,497 per student—more than its higher-performing neighbors—indicating that low performance is tied to challenges like poverty and disengagement rather than a lack of funding.

Despite these struggles, there are some positive signs. The graduation rate has improved from a low of 66.8% in 2021-2022 to 80.3% in 2024-2025, suggesting efforts to keep students on track are gaining traction. Additionally, proficiency in Biology 1 (54%) and US History (56%) is closer to district benchmarks, hinting at stronger instruction in those subjects. However, the school’s 7th and 8th graders already perform far below peers—only 10% of 7th graders were proficient in Math, compared to 62% at Cocoa Beach—showing that academic challenges start early. Cocoa High stands in stark contrast to the high-performing schools in the same district, highlighting a significant socioeconomic divide.
