Coquina Elementary School, Titusville FL

Original Research by School Decision on Coquina Elementary School

Coquina Elementary sits on Knox McRae Drive in Titusville, serving children from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade as a regular public school within the Brevard County district. The school is moderately sized for its grade band, with students spread fairly evenly across its grade levels.

The student body is majority white, with Black and Hispanic students making up meaningful shares of enrollment, and a smaller multiracial population. A large majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which places Coquina in the higher-need tier among elementary schools. Data on English learner enrollment and IEP rates were not available in the records reviewed.

Florida assesses students through the FAST exam in English language arts and math, and through a separate statewide science assessment at fifth grade. Coquina's results across the 2024-25 school year show a mixed picture depending on the grade and subject. In reading, proficiency rates across third through sixth grade land in a range that spans roughly the lower half of tested students in the earlier grades and rises somewhat by sixth grade. Math tells a similar story, though with more variation: the fifth grade math result is the weakest point in the school's profile, while the sixth grade math result is noticeably stronger. The fifth grade science result is the bright spot in the academic data, coming in well above the midpoints seen in the other tested grades. Parents looking for detail on how specific grades or student groups are performing, and how those figures compare to the state average, may want to raise those questions directly with the school, since the data available here does not include subgroup-level breakdowns.

A graduation rate does not apply to Coquina, which ends at sixth grade and does not serve high school students.

The comparison fact-set for Brevard County was too small to produce a meaningful position for Coquina relative to other county districts, so that placement is not available here.

The housing market surrounding the school, in the Titusville zip code, shows home values running well below the Florida statewide median. Values have edged down modestly over the past year. Rents, by contrast, have ticked up slightly in the same period. At current mortgage rates, the estimated monthly carrying cost on a typical home in this area is manageable relative to the area's income levels, and the rent-to-income picture is reasonable by national standards. Titusville generally represents a more affordable entry point into Brevard County than many coastal communities to the south.

Web research on Titusville's character, major employers, and civic anchors was not retrievable before the search budget was exhausted, so local context beyond the housing data is not available here. Similarly, no confirmed parent-relevant changes at the district level were found in the research window.

Coquina is a neighborhood elementary school in one of Florida's more affordable coastal-county cities. Its academic results are uneven across grades and subjects, and the high share of economically disadvantaged students is worth keeping in mind as context for interpreting those numbers. Families with children at or approaching fifth grade math may want to ask the school specifically what supports are in place, as that grade's result stands out from the rest of the tested grades. Program offerings were not reported in the data available.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
