Summary

Longleaf Elementary School in Melbourne, FL, is a public school serving 578 students in grades PK-6 within the Brevard County School District, and it stands out for its consistently high academic performance and remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7%—far below the district average of 21.1% and the state average of 31.4%.

What truly sets Longleaf apart is its exceptional math program, particularly for 6th graders, where 91% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to 74% district-wide and 60% statewide. This strength is part of a broader pattern of excellence: Longleaf outperforms both district and state averages in every tested subject and grade level, including science, where 85% of 5th graders were proficient. The school achieves these results with a per-student spending of $12,234, which is lower than several nearby schools with weaker academic outcomes, such as Croton Elementary School ($14,123) and Sherwood Elementary School ($14,849), suggesting efficient resource use.

While Longleaf is a top performer, it operates in a highly competitive area. Just 0.8 miles away, Sherwood Elementary serves a different demographic, with 60.65% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to Longleaf's 23.18%, yet both schools maintain solid academic rankings. Nearby Viera Elementary School is an elite powerhouse with a 97th percentile ranking, but Longleaf remains a strong, well-rounded choice with a slight downward trend from its historic peak in the 94th-96th percentile. For families, this area offers excellent options, with Longleaf providing consistent, high-quality education across all subjects.

Excellent school, terrible Principal! Close Quote

We transferred from Suntree and were not sure what to expect. We quickly found out that we loved Longleaf even more than Suntree. Sure Suntree has the reputation as being superior, but that is not what we found out. Our teacher was excellent and the other staff we dealt with have been great. Close Quote
