Summary

Jupiter Elementary School in Palm Bay, FL, serves 856 students in grades PK through 6 and is part of the Brevard school district, with a majority of students (64%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

The most pressing challenge at Jupiter Elementary is its persistently high chronic absenteeism rate, which has hovered around 30% for several years—the highest among nearby schools. For context, Pineapple Cove Classical Academy At Lockmar, just 3.2 miles away, has a chronic absenteeism rate of only 14.6%. This attendance crisis is likely a key factor behind the school's low academic performance, which has declined from a 2-star to a 1-star rating. In 5th grade math, only 35% of Jupiter students were proficient, compared to the district average of 58% and state average of 62%. Similarly, 3rd grade ELA proficiency was the lowest among all ten nearby schools at 43%.

Despite these challenges, there are a few bright spots. Jupiter's 6th graders outperformed the state average in both ELA (64% vs. 62%) and math (61% vs. 60%), though this pattern is common across the district. Additionally, 5th grade science scores have shown a remarkable improvement, jumping from 33% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 56% in 2025-2026. However, the school's overall trajectory suggests that addressing chronic absenteeism is the most critical step needed to improve student outcomes and compete with higher-performing options like Lockmar Elementary School and Discovery Elementary School.

Jupiter is a great school. We have attended for 2 years and have had a great experience. They really make parents feel welcome and take time to make sure the teachers have good training. We could not be happier. The new principle is open and really takes time to get involved. Close Quote
