Stone Magnet Middle School in Melbourne, Florida

Stone Magnet Middle School is the Brevard Public Schools campus on East University Boulevard in Melbourne, and it teaches only seventh and eighth graders.

The federal school locator lists stone magnet middle school at 1101 E University Blvd, Melbourne, FL 32901, phone (321) 723-0741, with 557 students in grades 7-8 (NCES school locator, Stone Magnet). That locator takes its student counts from the official 2024-2025 school level data and its address and phone from preliminary 2025-2026 directory submissions.

On its own Brevard Public Schools website the campus goes by Stone Middle School, gives 321.723.0741 as the main line and lists a fax of (321) 877.0983 (Stone Middle School site). Its menus point Melbourne families to a School Advisory Council (SAC) page, a School Data Profile, ESOL resources, FOCUS app information, Student Services and a weekly newsletter named the Gopher Gazette.

Florida's 2025-26 grades spreadsheet identifies the University Boulevard campus as school 2071 in district 05, Brevard, gives it school type 02, which the file's legend defines as a middle school, and records NO in its charter column (FLDOE grades file, Stone row).

Florida's 2025-26 grades put Melbourne's Stone Magnet Middle at a C, worth 52 percent of the points available to it.

In the version of the state file current as of September 1, 2026, the Melbourne school has 466 total points over 9 graded components, and 98 percent of its eligible students were tested (FLDOE grades file, Stone row). For middle schools, the note printed at the top of the same file sets a C at 44 to 56 percent of points, a B at 57 to 63 percent and an A at 64 percent or greater (FLDOE middle school scale).

Florida's grading law labels a C school, such as this Melbourne campus, as one making satisfactory progress. The same section obliges every graded school, Brevard schools included, to test 95 percent or more of the students who are eligible to take the state tests (Florida Statutes, section 1008.34).

Each score the Melbourne magnet posts is a percentage of eligible students meeting one state measure, such as passing a subject test or showing a year of growth.

In the 2025-26 file the Melbourne campus posts 55 for English Language Arts achievement, 46 for mathematics achievement, 51 for science achievement and 69 for social studies achievement (Stone component scores, FLDOE). An achievement score counts students who pass the statewide test in that subject, and under section 1008.34 a student passes with a level 3, level 4 or level 5 result (Florida Statutes, section 1008.34).

Growth sits in separate columns for the Melbourne school: 54 for English Language Arts learning gains, 40 for mathematics learning gains, 45 for English Language Arts gains in the lowest 25 percent and 47 for mathematics gains in that group (Stone component scores, FLDOE). Florida law treats Learning Gains as the growth a student shows between one school year and the following one, measured under State Board rule, and it sorts students into the lowest 25 percent using their prior year results on the statewide tests (Florida Statutes, section 1008.34).

Melbourne's Stone posts 59 in the acceleration column, which the statute reserves for campuses serving middle grades 6 to 8 or only grades 7 and 8, and that column counts eligible students who pass a high school level end-of-course exam or attain a national industry certification from the state's CAPE funding list (Florida Statutes, section 1008.34). Any component with complete results for under 10 students is dropped when a school's grade is figured.

Melbourne's Stone Magnet Middle earned C grades from 1999 through 2002, A grades in 2003 and from 2005 through 2011, a B in 2004 and 2012, and a C in every year the file grades from 2013 through 2026.

The state spreadsheet carries each school's letter grades back to 1999 (Stone grade record, FLDOE). For the Melbourne campus it labels 2015 and 2023 as informational baseline grades and leaves the 2021 column empty.

The letter cut points behind the Melbourne school's record can shift. Under section 1008.34, the State Board looks each year at how many schools of each type earned an A or a B, and once A and B schools account for at least 75 percent of all graded middle schools, or of any other school type, the minimum percentage for each letter must go up the next year (Florida Statutes, section 1008.34).

Stone Magnet Middle in Melbourne offers two programs that take applications, AVID and Science Research, along with electives listed as Art, Band and Orchestra, Culinary and Yearbook and clubs from an Astronaut Club to an MSEL eSports Team.

The Melbourne school's home page carries one link to apply to the AVID Program and another to apply to Stone's Science Research program, and its Academics menu groups them under an AVID and Science Research Application page (Stone Middle School site). The same menu holds an Elective Choice List with Art, Band and Orchestra, Culinary and Yearbook, plus ESOL and the Media Center.

The home page gallery also asks why a family should choose Stone and links a YouTube video, and the Cafeteria menu links Free and Reduced Lunch Information next to the cafeteria page (Stone Middle School site).

Melbourne's Stone Magnet Middle carries the Title I flag with an economically disadvantaged rate of 100 percent, and its site keeps a Military Purple Star School page.

In the 2025-26 grades file the Melbourne campus is flagged YES for Title I, with an economically disadvantaged figure of 100 (Stone Title I flag, FLDOE). A Title 1 page sits under the school's Parents and Students menu (Stone Middle School site).

Section 1003.051 directs the Florida Department of Education to establish the Purple Star Campus program, and the Melbourne campus links a page for it from the Parents and Students menu (Stone Middle School site). To take part, a school must at least name one staff member as its military liaison, post resources for military families and students on a school web page, keep a transition program led by students, give staff professional learning on military student issues and hold back no fewer than 5 percent of the seats it fills through controlled open enrollment for military students (Florida Statutes, section 1003.051). The law counts as a military student the dependent of someone serving on active duty in, or formerly a member of, the Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Space Force, Air Force, Navy or Army, as well as dependents tied to a reserve component or the Florida National Guard.
