Jupiter Elementary enrolled 856 students in prekindergarten through grade 6 in the 2024-2025 school year, taught by 58.50 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers, a ratio of 14.63 students per teacher.

The National Center for Education Statistics reports 856 total students at the Tupelo Road campus, with membership and staffing drawn from the official 2024-2025 school-level data and the name and address from preliminary 2025-2026 directory data (NCES, Jupiter Elementary). Boys outnumbered girls, 461 to 395, in that count.

Grade 3 was the largest class at Jupiter Elementary in 2024-2025, with 128 students, and the prekindergarten group held 88 (NCES enrollment by grade). The sixth grade, 97 students, sets Jupiter Elementary apart from the Palm Beach County school of the same name, which ends at grade 5 (NCES school search).

The prekindergarten count matches the school's own menu, which links a VPK page (Jupiter Elementary). Adding the grade rows gives 88 plus 113 plus 116 plus 96 plus 128 plus 108 plus 110 plus 97, or 856, the same total NCES prints for Jupiter Elementary.

Jupiter Elementary earned a B in Florida's 2025-26 school grades, in the state file dated as of September 1, 2026, with 55 percent of possible points.

Florida grades elementary schools on a points scale: an A takes 62 percent of points or more, a B 54 to 61 percent, a C 41 to 53 percent, a D 32 to 40 percent and an F 31 percent or less (FLDOE grading scale, cell C2). Jupiter Elementary earned 440 points across 8 components, 55 percent of the total, and tested 100 percent of eligible students (FLDOE, Jupiter Elementary, T146). That puts the Palm Bay school one percentage point above the B floor of 54 percent.

State law defines a B as a school making above average progress and a C as one making satisfactory progress, and each component is worth 100 points (Florida Statutes 1008.34). For an elementary school such as Jupiter Elementary, the components are achievement in English Language Arts, mathematics and science, plus learning gains in English Language Arts and math for all students and for the lowest 25 percent, and, because the school includes grade 3, the share of students reaching level 3 or higher on the grade 3 English Language Arts test.

The strongest number on the Jupiter Elementary report is growth in reading: 66 percent of eligible students made learning gains in English Language Arts (FLDOE components, Jupiter Elementary). The weakest is grade 3 reading, where 44 percent reached the achievement mark. In mathematics, half of tested students at the Tupelo Road school scored at the achievement level (50) and 47 percent of the lowest quarter made gains (FLDOE math, Jupiter Elementary).

Jupiter Elementary has moved between A and C in Florida school grades since 1999, with seven straight A grades from 2005 through 2011, a long run of C grades from 2013, and a B in 2026.

The state file carries every grade back to 1999 for the Palm Bay campus. Jupiter Elementary posted an A in each year from 2005 to 2011 (FLDOE, 2005 to 2011), slipped to a B in 2012, and received a C in 2013, 2014, the 2015 informational baseline, and each year from 2016 through 2019 (FLDOE, 2013 to 2019). The file has no 2020 column, and its 2021 column is blank for Jupiter Elementary.

After returning with a B in 2022, Jupiter Elementary drew a C on the 2023 informational baseline and again in 2024 and 2025 (FLDOE, 2023 and 2022; FLDOE, 2024 to 2026). The 2026 B is the Palm Bay school's first B since 2022 and its second since 2012.

Two of the Jupiter Elementary entries, 2015 and 2023, are labeled informational baseline grades in the FLDOE column headings, and both were a C (FLDOE, 2023 baseline).

Jupiter Elementary serves a mixed student body in which no single group is a majority, and the Florida Department of Education classifies the Palm Bay school as Title I with 100 percent economically disadvantaged students.

In the 2024-2025 NCES count, Jupiter Elementary enrolled 291 White students, 269 Black students, 185 Hispanic students, 99 students of two or more races, 11 Asian students and 1 American Indian or Alaska Native student (NCES enrollment by race and ethnicity). White students were the largest group, at 291 of 856, or about 34 percent (291 divided by 856).

NCES counts 549 Jupiter Elementary students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch: 509 for free lunch and 40 for reduced-price lunch (NCES lunch eligibility). That is 549 of 856, about 64 percent. All 509 free-lunch students qualified through direct certification, which means their households already take part in a program such as SNAP.

The state file uses a different measure. It flags Jupiter Elementary as a Title I school and reports 100 percent economically disadvantaged students (FLDOE Title I flag, Jupiter Elementary), and the school's own menu carries a Title 1 page for Palm Bay parents (Jupiter Elementary). The 64 percent federal lunch figure and the 100 percent state figure count different things and are reported here side by side.

Jupiter Elementary lists weekly art, a before-school Morning Mile, string instruments and chorus, plus menu pages for VPK, Brevard After School, PTO/SAC and Purple Star.

On the school's home page, students at Jupiter Elementary go to art once a week, and the physical education program hosts a Morning Mile 3 days a week before school, when students walk or run around the field (Jupiter Elementary programs). The music program offers string instruments and chorus.

The Jupiter Elementary menu also carries pages for Brevard After School care, PTO/SAC, uniforms, Purple Star, water safety, school counseling, the cafeteria and the media center (Jupiter Elementary). The menu also links an Enrollment page.
