Summary

Saturn Elementary School in Cocoa, FL, is a public school serving 619 students in grades PK-6 within the Brevard County School District, where 73.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty community.

Saturn Elementary has faced significant challenges over the past decade, with its state ranking dropping from the 53rd percentile (3 stars) in 2015-2016 to the 17th percentile (1 star) in 2025-2026. The school's academic performance in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math consistently falls below both district and state averages across nearly all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, only 49% of Saturn students were proficient compared to 63% in the district and 60% statewide. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which stood at 28.7% in 2023-2024—nearly double the rate of nearby high-performing schools like Lewis Carroll Elementary School (15.1%) and Audubon Elementary School (16.5%). This absenteeism rate is a key barrier to learning that is more severe at Saturn than at most other local schools.

Despite these struggles, there is a notable bright spot: Saturn's 6th-grade students consistently outperform other grades, with 59% proficient in ELA and 70% in Math in 2025-2026—the latter exceeding the state average of 60%. This "6th-grade bounce" suggests effective teaching or interventions for older students. Interestingly, Saturn spends $13,488 per student, more than higher-performing peers like Lewis Carroll ($11,099), indicating that funding alone isn't the issue. Saturn is part of a cluster of underperforming schools in Cocoa, including Endeavour Elementary School (2nd percentile) and Golfview Elementary Magnet School (6th percentile), pointing to community-wide challenges that extend beyond the school walls.

Saturn is a wonderful school! They take care of all aspects of the student. If there is a child that needs shoes, a winter jacket or food for the weekend they take care of it! As a parent, I feel welcome to be there and to be involved. I like that I can walk my children to their classrooms each morning.
I like that they listen to my input each year with classroom placement of my children in addition to all their ways of determining who goes where.
I like the principle and his secretary Ms. Sally. I feel like she really listens and cares abt my concerns with action following.
The PreK team is amazing. And have been more than happy with each teacher they have been placed with since.
I wish the school counselor didn't have ADHD herself and was a bit more attentive when speaking to her instead of in twenty different places. But hey she's what this particular school population needs. Thank God our dealings with her are limited. Otherwise I would have to hold her down and yell "Pay attention!"
Mrs Morley the front office lady is HORRIBLE!!! There is NO kindness or Compassion in this woman! Hate having to deal with her. The book keeper Jennifer, I have watched on more than one occasion get the kids all excited and then not liking the out come of what she's done yell at them to calm down. You reap what you sew lady!
My children are known and well liked by the staff, are getting what they need educationally and feel that they are safe when going to school, which is really all a parent can ask for! Close Quote

I have enjoyed my children going to this school and they have done very well with their grades. The FCAT is a pain and the school does focus on it but that is not the fault of the school. All schools in Florida are like this now because of NCLB. Ask any of the teachers there they hate it as much as anyone else. I enjoy to volunteer in the classroom and get to see a lot of what is going on, all I'm going to say is the children do misbehave but this is usually not because of the school but the home environment. The teachers Ive dealt with, I have enjoyed, as long as a parent stays in contact and shows interest the teacher will do the same. I am studying to be a teacher and have found out that teaching is a lot more than just educating the children in the classrooms there is so much more that goes on behind the scenes. The inequality in our school system is apparent but Saturn works very hard to make sure each student has an education. Close Quote

We never get to see if the teacher could TEACH. Her job as we saw it, was to be a bad behavior consution.
Something seriously needs to be to correct the unruly students. the REFOCUS program could work in an average environment. This school is anything but average! Close Quote

If it isn't on the FCAT, your child isn't going to learn it. My children have had their questions rebuffed and actually have been told, "You don't have to know that, because it's not on the FCAT." Here I am, trying to teach my children to think for themselves and to aspire for something greater than mediocrity, and the staff of this school is determined to keep everyone exactly the same. All children do not learn the same way, and it is unfair to keep the smarter kids back (or to put more on the children who need extra help), all in the interest of cramming the FCAT material down their throats in time for the tests. After the FCAT, teaching screeches to a halt. There is no science class unless, you guessed it, they are in the grades that have science FCAT. With few exceptions, the teachers are close-minded and rude. The administrative staff is uncaring and unfair. If we could move, I would move for the SOLE PURPOSE of getting my children out of Saturn Elementary School. To give the school a "poor" rating is to be generous. I can't wait until I don't have to subject my children to the place any more. Close Quote
