Summary

Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School is a high-performing, 4-star school in Cocoa Beach, FL, serving 1,049 students in grades 7 through 12 within the Brevard district, and it consistently ranks among the top 20% of high schools in Florida.

This school stands out for its exceptional and consistent academic performance, significantly outperforming district averages across nearly all metrics. For example, its 7th-grade ELA proficiency (77%) is far higher than nearby Cocoa High School (31%). Cocoa Beach also boasts a superior graduation rate of 97.9% with a strong upward trend, and a low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which is much lower than the district average (21.1%) and schools like Eau Gallie High School (26.7%) and Rockledge Senior High School (26.5%). The school is also efficient with its spending, achieving top-tier results with a moderate budget of $11,154 per student, whereas Cocoa High School spends more for a lower rating.

An interesting finding is the "Edgewood Effect," as Edgewood Junior/Senior High School, just 5 miles away, is a 5-star, top-20 school with near-perfect test scores, making Cocoa Beach an excellent but overshadowed option. Additionally, Cocoa Beach's structure as a 7-12 school provides a "middle school advantage," allowing for a seamless transition and strong preparation for high school, evident in its 8th-grade science scores (68%) and Civics EOC scores (90%), which far exceed those at Cocoa High School. While the school shows some volatility in 7th-grade math scores, dropping from 73% to 62% proficiency in one year, it remains above district and state averages, making it a reliable and high-achieving choice for families.
