Summary:
In zip code 32935, there is one middle school, Lyndon B. Johnson Middle School, serving grades 7 and 8 with 580 students in Melbourne, Florida, part of the Brevard school district.
Lyndon B. Johnson Middle School presents a mixed picture of academic performance. The school is a standout in advanced mathematics, with 84% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 90% proficient in Geometry, far exceeding district and state averages. However, this strength contrasts sharply with a significant weakness in 7th-grade math, where only 25% of students are proficient, compared to 49% in the district and 53% statewide. The school also underperforms in Civics (68% vs. 78% district) and 8th-grade Science (44% vs. 57% district). The school's state ranking has declined from a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 2-star rating in 2025-2026, and chronic absenteeism is a concern at 27.5%, higher than the district average of 21.1%.
Key metrics include a student-teacher ratio of 17:1, spending of $12,624 per student, and 49.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. The school shows inconsistent year-over-year performance, such as 7th-grade ELA jumping from 47% to 64% proficiency, while 7th-grade math dropped from 49% to 25%. This volatility, combined with high chronic absenteeism and uneven subject performance, suggests that while the school excels at accelerating students in advanced math, it faces challenges in supporting grade-level math and other core subjects, making it a school with notable strengths and areas needing improvement.
