Summary

Stone Magnet Middle School in Melbourne, FL, serves 557 students in grades 7 and 8 and is part of the Brevard school district, with 59.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite its "magnet" designation, Stone Magnet Middle School is a low-performing school compared to both the state and its district. For the 2025-2026 school year, only 25% of 7th graders and 37% of 8th graders are proficient in math, roughly half the rate of the district (49% and 62%) and the state (53% and 61%). English Language Arts proficiency is also below average, with 54% of 7th graders and 52% of 8th graders meeting standards, compared to district averages of 66% and 63%. The school has received a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the last six consecutive years. A notable exception is advanced math: 63% of test-takers were proficient in Algebra 1, matching the state average, and 57% in Geometry, slightly above it. However, this success is limited to a small group of students and does not reflect the experience of the majority.

Stone Magnet faces significant challenges with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 21.7% for the 2023-2024 school year, far higher than nearby high-performing schools like Delaura Middle School (11.4%) and Herbert C. Hoover Middle School (13.3%). The contrast with Delaura is stark: Delaura is a 5-star school ranked in the 91st percentile, with 77% proficiency in 8th-grade science and 81% in 8th-grade ELA, while Stone Magnet is a 1-star school in the 31st percentile. Stone Magnet also spends more per student ($12,950) than Delaura ($11,020) and Viera Middle School ($8,899), indicating that funding alone is not the issue. The school's state ranking has declined steadily over the past decade, from the 40th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026, with the pandemic accelerating the drop.
