Summary:
Zip code 32141, located in Edgewater, Florida, is home to a single public school, Indian River Elementary School, which serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade with a total enrollment of 614 students.
Indian River Elementary School is a standout for its exceptional performance in science and math, particularly in 5th grade. In the 2025-2026 school year, 80% of 5th graders were proficient in science, far exceeding the Volusia district average of 64% and the state average of 60%. Similarly, 5th-grade math proficiency saw a dramatic 16-percentage-point increase from the previous year, reaching 72%—well above both district and state averages of 62%. However, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency remains an area for improvement, with scores at or slightly below state averages across all grades. The school also boasts a lower chronic absenteeism rate (25.5%) compared to the district (34.1%) and state (31.4%), despite a moderate level of economic disadvantage (53.75% free/reduced lunch).
A key concern is the "3rd grade math dip," where only 54% of students are proficient, significantly below the state average of 66%. This suggests a need for early intervention in foundational math skills. Overall, Indian River Elementary School holds a stable state ranking in the 57th percentile (3 stars), reflecting solid, middle-of-the-pack performance. The school's strengths in STEM and attendance, combined with its challenges in literacy and early math, create a clear profile for parents: a school that excels in science and math but has room to grow in reading and writing.
