Spessard L. Holland Elementary School

Holland Elementary School sits at 50 Holland Court, Satellite Beach, FL 32937, and teaches prekindergarten through grade 6 for Brevard Public Schools.

The Find Us block on the school website prints that Holland Court address with a main line of (321) 773-7591 and a fax of (321) 773-6315 (Holland Elementary website). The federal school locator files the campus under its full name, Spessard L. Holland Elementary School, with PK-6 in the grades column and 444 students in the enrollment column (NCES school search for Satellite Beach). A footnote on that locator explains that the student count is official 2024-2025 membership, while the name, address and phone are preliminary figures submitted for 2025-2026.

Holland's place in the state's accountability files is district 05 (Brevard), school number 6013, school type 01, the code the workbook legend assigns to elementary schools (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The prekindergarten end of the grade span shows up on the school's own menus too: the Parents and Students list links a BPS Head Start Preschool Program page, and the Academics list carries Enrollment, Exceptional Student Education, Speech and Language and a GSP page (Holland Elementary website).

Holland Elementary earned an A for 2025-26 on 616 points from 8 components, which the state file reports as 77 percent of the points possible.

The workbook is dated as of September 1, 2026, and its row for the Satellite Beach school, number 6013, lists the eight scores below together with a percent tested of 98 (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The Brevard column repeats the matching cells from the separate district workbook, which graded the whole Brevard district an A for 2025-26 with 810 points from 12 components and 68 percent of points (FLDOE 2025-26 district grades workbook).

The Brevard district row also carries Social Studies Achievement, Middle School Acceleration, Graduation Rate 2024-25 and College and Career Acceleration 2024-25 cells (FLDOE district workbook). For Holland's own row the social studies, middle school acceleration, graduation rate and college and career acceleration cells are empty, and the school type cell reads 01, Elementary in the workbook legend (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook).

Each Holland Elementary score is a percentage of eligible students: achievement lines count students who pass the statewide, standardized assessment, and learning gains lines count students who make Learning Gains as the statute defines them.

Section 1008.34 of the Florida Statutes sets five achievement levels, with level 3 marking satisfactory performance, and says a student passes an assessment at level 3, 4 or 5 (Section 1008.34, Florida Statutes). The same section defines Learning Gains as the degree of student learning growth from one school year to the next under State Board of Education rule. The two lowest 25 percent lines in Holland's row count eligible students in the lowest 25 percent in English Language Arts or in mathematics, as identified by prior year performance on statewide, standardized assessments, who make Learning Gains (Section 1008.34).

Holland's first column, 96 for grade 3 English Language Arts, exists only because the Satellite Beach school includes grade 3: the statute adds that component for schools whose grade levels include grade 3, counting the percentage of eligible students at achievement level 3 or higher on the grade 3 statewide, standardized English Language Arts assessment (Section 1008.34). The section also requires each school to assess at least 95 percent of its eligible students to be graded, and Holland's percent tested cell reads 98 (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The same section defines the A that Holland earned as the grade for schools making excellent progress (Section 1008.34).

The state file lists a B for Holland Elementary in 1999 and an A in each later column that holds a letter, through 2026.

Two details in the Holland row are easy to misread. The workbook has no Grade 2020 column at all, and the Grade 2021 cell for the Satellite Beach school is empty, so the record does not say what Holland would have earned in either year (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The 2015 and 2023 letters sit in columns the department labels informational baseline grades, a separate heading from the regular Grade columns around them.

Yes: the Florida Department of Education's Purple Star School of Distinction list for 2025-2028 includes Holland Elementary School as a Brevard County district school.

The list sorts schools by county and type, and Holland's line reads Brevard County, Holland Elementary School, District (FLDOE Purple Star School of Distinction 2025-2028 list). Section 1003.051 of the Florida Statutes sets up the related Purple Star Campus program for military students, defined as dependents of active duty or former members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, a reserve component, or the Florida National Guard (Section 1003.051, Florida Statutes).

Section 1003.051 lists the minimum the Purple Star Campus program must require of a participating school: designate a staff member as a military liaison, keep a web page with resources for military students and families, run a student-led transition program for military students arriving at the school, offer professional learning opportunities for staff on issues relating to military students, and reserve at least 5 percent of controlled open enrollment seats for military students (Section 1003.051). On the Holland Elementary website the Parents and Students menu includes a page titled Military (Holland Elementary website).

Holland Elementary's site lists academic pages for Enrichment, GSP, Speech and Language and Exceptional Student Education, plus clubs that run from coding and robotics to art and music.

Under Academics, the Satellite Beach school links an Academics Overview, Enrichment, GSP, Speech and Language, and Exceptional Student Education; under Parents and Students it links FAST, Florida Assessment of Student Thinking, along with Elementary School and Grade Level Reading Lists, Supplemental Reading and Reading Lists, Classroom Libraries (Beanstack) and the Media Center (Destiny) catalog (Holland Elementary website). Brevard After School, the Cafeteria, the Clinic, FOCUS, School Supply List, Volunteer Information and Water Safety pages sit on the same parents menu.

The Clubs and Activities menu names Art, Coding Club, LIT Club, Media, Music, National Elementary Honor Society, Physical Education and Robotics, and the program blocks on the home page add short descriptions (Holland Elementary website). In LEGO Robotics, by the home page's account, students learn to code and write commands for robots; the Morning Mile invites Hornets to walk, run and jump rope on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and to track what they accomplish for rewards; the honor society block ties membership to academics, leadership and good character; and the music block names Orchestra, Chorus and Beginning Strings.

Neither: Holland's 2025-26 row reads NO under Charter School and NO under Title I, with 30.7 in the Percent of Economically Disadvantaged Students column (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook).

The same Holland row records N under Was the collocated rule used? and N under Alternative/ESE Center School (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The 444 enrollment figure is a separate federal count, labeled official 2024-2025 membership on the locator (NCES school search for Satellite Beach).

The school website footer gives the Holland Court address, the (321) 773-7591 phone line and the district Ethics Hotline at 321-633-1000 x11170, and its menus link Register, Enrollment and the Holland School Calendar (Holland Elementary website). Last verified: October 21, 2026, by rereading Holland's row and grade scale note in the state school workbook, Brevard's district row, the NCES Satellite Beach locator, the Holland Elementary home page, the 2025-2028 Purple Star list and Sections 1003.051 and 1008.34.
