Summary:
In zip code 32780, there is one middle school, Andrew Jackson Middle School, serving grades 7 and 8 with 505 students in Titusville, part of the Brevard County school district.
Andrew Jackson Middle School presents a mixed picture of performance. The school is a standout in advanced math, with Geometry EOC proficiency rates of 93% in 2024-2025 and 83% in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district and state averages of around 55-56%. Algebra 1 proficiency is also strong, at 65% in 2025-2026, slightly above the state average. However, standard math performance is a significant weakness: only 26% of 7th graders were proficient in FAST math in 2025-2026, compared to 53% statewide. This creates a stark contrast where a select group of students excels in advanced courses while the majority struggles in grade-level math. The school's state ranking has declined over three years, from the 51st percentile to the 45th percentile, despite strong showings in advanced math and 8th grade science (65% proficient in 2025-2026, above the state's 52%).
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 18:1, a free/reduced lunch rate of 49.5%, and per-student spending of $12,087. A notable concern is chronic absenteeism at 28.2%, which is higher than the district average of 21.1% and likely contributes to the school's overall academic challenges. While the school excels in advanced coursework, the declining state ranking and poor standard math scores suggest that resources and attention may need to be directed toward supporting the majority of students in core subjects to improve overall performance.
