Summary

Roy Allen Elementary School in Melbourne, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 619 students in grades PK-6 within the Brevard School District, located in a neighborhood that sits between some of the area's highest and lowest-performing schools. The school has a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with 45.4% of students receiving free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year, a significant drop from 57.66% the year prior—a shift worth monitoring as it could affect future funding and demographics.

The most notable strength at Roy Allen is its 6th-grade program, which consistently outperforms district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2025-2026, 6th-grade ELA proficiency was 77% (3 points above the district, 15 points above the state), and Math was 76% (2 points above the district, 16 points above the state). This pattern is unique among nearby schools; for instance, at the high-performing W. Melbourne Elementary for Science, 6th grade is just one of many strong grades, while at struggling University Park Elementary, 6th grade is also a bright spot but at a much lower level. However, the school has a persistent weakness in 4th-grade Math, with proficiency rates well below district and state averages for three consecutive years—47% in 2025-2026 compared to the district's 62% and state's 65%. Nearby schools like Sherwood Elementary (73% in 2024-2025) perform much better in this area.

Roy Allen operates with notable fiscal efficiency, spending $10,527 per student—the second-lowest among 10 nearby schools—while achieving average results. This contrasts sharply with lower-performing schools like Dr. W.J. Creel Elementary ($14,588) and University Park ($14,277), which spend more but achieve far worse outcomes. The school's state ranking has been volatile, peaking at the 71st percentile in 2020-2021, dropping to a low of the 32nd percentile in 2024-2025, and rebounding to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026. Its chronic absenteeism rate (21.7%) is nearly identical to the district average and better than the state average (31.4%), a positive sign. The biggest challenge for Roy Allen is to stabilize its performance and replicate the success of its 6th-grade program in lower grades, particularly 4th-grade math.
