Summary

Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School in Cocoa Beach, FL, is a small, mid-to-high performing school serving 275 students in grades PK through 6, offering a strong academic foundation with a notably low student-to-teacher ratio of 13:1 and higher per-student spending ($14,652) compared to many nearby schools in the Brevard district.

This school stands out for its exceptional 6th-grade program, where 94% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 92% in math in the 2025-2026 school year—scores that rival top-performing schools like Freedom 7 Elementary School Of International Studies. However, 4th-grade math is a persistent challenge, with only 50% proficiency, significantly below district and state averages. Science is a consistent strength, with 75% of 5th graders proficient, well above the state average. While the school has earned a 4-star rating for eight consecutive years, it operates in the shadow of Freedom 7, a top 1% state school just over a mile away, which may influence family choices. Theodore Roosevelt offers a more economically diverse student body (34.91% eligible for free or reduced lunch) compared to Freedom 7 (10.54%) or Robert L. Stevenson Elementary School (16.01%), providing a unique middle ground for families seeking a strong education in a smaller, more varied environment.

A growing concern is chronic absenteeism, which has nearly doubled from 11.0% in 2019-2020 to 18.7% in 2023-2024, though it remains below the state average of 31.4%. This trend is notably higher than at Freedom 7 (4.3%) or Robert L. Stevenson (6.3%). The school’s state ranking has stabilized in the 77th percentile after peaking in the 93rd percentile in 2016-2017, indicating a reliable, high-quality option that may face increased competition from nearby magnet and high-performing schools. Overall, Theodore Roosevelt is a solid choice for parents who value small class sizes, strong upper-grade performance, and a diverse student body, while being aware of the math challenges in 4th grade and the rising absenteeism rate.

The school has excellent teachers and a caring staff. Parent involvement is very active and not by force like choice schools in the area. There is a large military population in attendance at this school as well and pride in our country and good citizenship are taught. Children love going to school every day. They make learning fun. Teachers are well educated, many with master's degrees. My child loves her school and teachers. I would highly recommend it. Having been in 5 different school districts both public and private, this school has a great reading program. My child reads 2 grade levels above. I credit this to excellent teachers who provide positive rewards for reading. Close Quote

Please be aware that the administration at this school is extremely useless.

This was my child's first year in this school (6th grade).

I repeated requested a conference with a specific teacher who always had an excuse why he could not meet with me. It took me three calls and an email to get the principal to finally return my calls. When she returned my call, she told me that because I had an issue with the teacher I needed to "discuss it with him."

In the end, this teacher (math and reading) ended up leaving during Christmas break only to be replaced twice during the rest of the school year. The entire first semester of reading was to "read your library book" and math class was spent reviewing basic skills learned in 4th and 5th grades. After a waste of the first semester and the subsequent revolving teachers, these children learned only a small fraction of what they will need to succeed in 7th grade.

What a mess. Close Quote

Great teachers, great staff, great kids. All around perfect school. I have two children in college that went to Roosevelt, and a current 6th grader. I moved out of the district last year and now drive him everyday so he can attend school there. Close Quote
