Summary:
In zip code 32940, there is one middle school, Viera Middle School, serving grades 7 and 8 with 741 students in the Viera area of Brevard County.
Viera Middle School is a standout institution, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 87th percentile (153rd out of 1,216) among all Florida middle schools in the 2025-2026 school year. The school excels in advanced coursework, achieving 100% proficiency in Biology 1 and 99% in Geometry EOC exams—both high school credit courses. Overall, the school significantly outperforms both the Brevard district and state averages in nearly every subject, with particularly large gaps in 8th Grade Math (88% vs. 62% district and 61% state) and Civics (85% vs. 78% district and 77% state). The school has a relatively low economic disadvantage rate, with 20.78% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, and spends $8,899 per student.
An interesting finding is a notable weakness in 7th Grade Math, where only 54% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—a dramatic 29-point drop from the previous year and the school's lowest score. This contrasts sharply with the 88% proficiency in 8th Grade Math, suggesting that many high-performing 7th graders may be taking Algebra 1 (where the school scored 88%) instead of the standard test. Year-over-year trends show strong gains in 8th Grade Math (+26 points) and 8th Grade ELA (+10 points), but the volatility in 7th grade math warrants attention. Overall, Viera Middle School provides an exceptional academic environment with top-tier performance in advanced subjects, though families should be aware of the specific challenges in 7th grade math.
