Summary

Port Malabar Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 605 students in grades PK-6 in Palm Bay, Florida, which is part of the Brevard County school district. While the district is ranked 23 out of 67 in the state, Port Malabar Elementary faces some challenges, including lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a greater percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to state averages.

On standardized tests, Port Malabar Elementary generally performs below the Brevard County and Florida state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 51% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to 60% in Brevard and 55% statewide. The school's math proficiency rates ranged from 44-57% across grades 3-6, while the district and state averages were 57-72% and 57-63%, respectively. Additionally, Port Malabar has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 31.4% over the past few years, compared to the Florida average of around 15-16%.

Compared to nearby schools, Port Malabar's performance is in the middle of the pack. It outperforms some charter schools like Royal Palm Charter and Palm Bay Academy on test scores, but lags behind higher-performing charters like Pineapple Cove Classical Academy and Imagine Schools at West Melbourne. Despite having higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes, Port Malabar's academic struggles suggest that other factors, such as student demographics and community engagement, may play a larger role in driving performance.
