of 2,240 Florida Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of Florida elementary schools

Summary

Manatee Elementary School in Viera, FL, is a high-performing school serving 910 students in grades PK through 6 within the Brevard district, and it has a long history of academic excellence, consistently ranking in the top 5% of all elementary schools in Florida since at least 2015-2016.

Manatee Elementary stands out for its exceptional 6th-grade performance, with 91% proficiency in English Language Arts and 97% in Math, which is significantly higher than its own 5th-grade scores and far exceeds district and state averages. This suggests a strong academic program that effectively prepares students for middle school. The school also boasts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among its top-performing peers in the Viera area, at just 8.5%, compared to Suntree Elementary (11.2%) and Viera Elementary (9.0%). Additionally, Manatee achieves these top-tier results with efficient spending of $9,806 per student, which is notably lower than nearby schools like Ralph M Williams Junior Elementary ($14,945) and Golfview Elementary Magnet School ($14,978), demonstrating exceptional resource management.

While Manatee remains an elite school, its state ranking has gradually declined from a peak of 16th in 2015-2016 to 116th in 2025-2026, though this is more a reflection of an increasingly competitive landscape than a decline in performance. The school is part of a remarkable "Viera Corridor of Excellence," where four schools within a 5-mile radius—including Quest Elementary and Viera Elementary—all rank in the top 90th percentile or higher. A minor area for improvement is 5th-grade science, where Manatee's 86% proficiency is slightly below Viera Elementary's 93%, but overall, Manatee Elementary offers a consistently strong, efficient, and community-supported education.

Manatee is a horrible school. The ratings are very old and the Blue ribbon of excellence is not recent. Teachers do not teach, they only review and make the parents responsible to teach. Close Quote
