Its home page gallery greets visitors with the line Home of the Trailblazers. Its Melbourne website gives a fax of 321-433-4329 and a school email, sabalelementary@brevardschools.org, beside the 321-254-7261 phone line (Sabal Elementary home page).

In the state's 2025-26 grades workbook, Sabal is school 3071 in Brevard, district 05, with school type 01, the code the legend assigns to elementary schools (Sabal row, FLDOE 2025-26 grades).

Florida's 2025-26 grades give Sabal Elementary in Melbourne a B, with 54 percent of the points available, following a C for 2025.

The FLDOE workbook dated as of September 1, 2026 gives the Wickham Road school 432 points across 8 components and a tested rate of 99 percent (Sabal row, FLDOE 2025-26 grades). The workbook's opening note fixes the elementary B band at 54 through 61 percent of points and the C band at 41 through 53 percent (FLDOE grading scale note).

The tested rate matters because Florida sets a participation floor: the law sets 95 percent as the minimum share of eligible students a school must test, and any component for which fewer than 10 of a Brevard school's students have complete data drops out of the calculation (Florida school grading statute, 1008.34).

Read against section 1008.34, the Melbourne school's 2026 B carries the label above average progress, and its 2025 C carried the label satisfactory progress (Florida school grading statute, 1008.34).

At Melbourne's Sabal Elementary, the passing scores are 55 in reading and 49 in math, the growth scores are 65 in reading and 60 in math, and the third grade reading score is 42.

Each figure is a percentage of eligible students at the Melbourne school (Sabal component columns, FLDOE). The passing columns count students who reach level 3 or above on a statewide test; under section 1008.34, levels 3, 4 and 5 count as a pass and level 3 marks satisfactory performance (Florida school grading statute, 1008.34).

Third grade reading is scored on its own. Any Brevard elementary that includes grade 3 receives a component built from eligible third graders who score level 3 or higher on the state's grade 3 English Language Arts assessment, and at Sabal that figure is 42 (Sabal component columns, FLDOE).

The learning gains columns give credit for progress rather than a pass. The statute asks the State Board to count students who were below level 3, 4 or 5 in the previous year and grew toward it, and it reports the lowest 25 percent in each subject separately, chosen from the prior year's results; at the Wickham Road campus those lowest quarter gains are 60 in reading and 54 in math (Florida school grading statute, 1008.34).

Sabal Elementary in Melbourne earned an A every year from 2002 through 2010, B grades in 2011, 2012, 2016 and 2017, C grades in each other graded year from 2013 through 2025, and a B in 2026.

All of the Brevard school's letters back to 1999 sit in its row of the state workbook, with 2015 and 2023 labeled informational baseline grades and nothing shown for 2021 (Sabal letter grade columns, FLDOE).

Sabal Elementary offers a chorus club for grades 4 to 6, an orchestra club for grades 5 and 6, an after school art club and a PBIS rewards program, according to its Melbourne home page.

Each club needs parent permission. The chorus is open to interested 4th through 6th graders with rehearsals that could be before or after school, and the orchestra club is open to any interested 5th or 6th grader on the same basis (Sabal Elementary home page). Under PBIS, the Brevard school teaches students expected behaviors and promotes school-wide rewards achieved with activities.

Families new to the Wickham Road school will also find a Dress Code Policy, a Counselor's Corner and a FOCUS Parent Link under Parents and Students, and the same menu lists Classroom Libraries (Beanstack) and Supplemental Reading and Reading Lists (Sabal Elementary home page).

Sabal holds Title I status in Melbourne, its economically disadvantaged rate is 100 percent, and its site links New Worlds Reading, a Purple Star page for military families and VPK.

The FLDOE workbook places YES in the Title I column for the Brevard school, NO for charter and 100 for economically disadvantaged students (Sabal Title I and income columns, FLDOE). The Title 1 page sits under About Us, while Purple Star-Military Families and VPK links appear further down the site menus (Sabal Elementary home page).

New Worlds Reading, listed on the Melbourne school's media menu, is the state's free book program in section 1003.485. Its stated purpose is to build a love of reading by giving high-quality, free books to students in prekindergarten through grade 5 who read below grade level. When a district identifies an eligible student, it works with the program administrator, the University of Florida Lastinger Center for Learning, so that monthly book deliveries begin no later than October and continue through at least June, and a student stays eligible until promotion to grade 6 or until a parent opts out (New Worlds Reading statute, 1003.485).

The Purple Star link reflects a state program. Section 1003.051 sets the floor for any participating campus, Melbourne schools included: a staff member named as military liaison, a page on the school website with resources for military students and families, a transition program run by students, staff training on issues military students face, and at least 5 percent of controlled open enrollment seats held for military students (Purple Star Campuses statute, 1003.051). The law's definition of a military student reaches dependents of active duty members, former members, reserve members and Florida National Guard members (Purple Star Campuses statute, 1003.051).
