Surfside Elementary School

Surfside Elementary School is a Brevard Public Schools campus at 475 Cassia Boulevard, Satellite Beach, FL 32937, reached at 321-773-2818.

On its own site the school gives that Cassia Boulevard address, a fax line of 321-877-0979 and the email SurfsideElementary@brevardschools.org; the About Us menu points to a Hours/Contact/Address page, a School Bio, the School Improvement Plan 25-26 and a Surfside Data Profile (Surfside Elementary website). The federal Common Core of Data locator agrees on the street address and phone and records 404 students in PK-6 for the Satellite Beach campus (NCES Satellite Beach school search). The locator's footnotes date the 404 to official 2024-2025 membership data and treat the directory details as preliminary 2025-2026 submissions.

For the grades after 6, that federal list shows a middle school and a high school inside Satellite Beach: DeLaura Middle School at 300 JACKSON AVE for grades 7-8 and Satellite Senior High School at 300 SCORPION CT for grades 9-12 (NCES Satellite Beach school search). The list also carries Sea Park Elementary School and Spessard L. Holland Elementary School, both PK-6. The pages cited here do not set attendance boundaries, so which campus a given Satellite Beach address is zoned for is a question for Brevard Public Schools. In the state's grade workbook, Surfside appears as district 05, school number 6061, school type 01 (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook).

Florida's 2025-26 grade for Surfside Elementary is an A, built on 618 points from 8 components, or 77 percent of the points possible.

Those numbers come from the department's workbook of school grades as of September 1, 2026, which also shows that 98 percent of eligible Surfside students sat the state tests (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). For an elementary school the workbook's note puts the floor for an A at 62% of points; the lower bands are B at 54% to 61%, C at 41% to 53%, D at 32% to 40% and F at 31% or below. Surfside's 77 percent falls in the A band of that note.

In the Surfside row, mathematics achievement reads 88 and mathematics learning gains 84, against 63 for English Language Arts learning gains of the lowest 25 percent (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). Florida's accountability statute counts each component as a percentage: achievement is the share of eligible students passing the statewide test in the subject, and a learning gains line is the share of eligible students who make Learning Gains, which for students below achievement levels 3, 4 and 5 the prior year means growth toward those levels (Section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

Not always: Surfside's first three letters in the state file, for 1999 through 2001, are B, and each graded year from 2002 to 2026 shows an A.

The workbook lists letters, not causes, so nothing here explains the move from B to A at the Satellite Beach school after 2001 (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). The statute behind the letters reads an A as excellent progress and a B as above average progress, and it lets a school that earns an A have greater say over the allocation of its total budget (Section 1008.34).

Surfside's grade 3 English Language Arts line of 86 is the percentage of eligible third graders scoring achievement level 3 or higher on the state reading assessment.

The statute adds that line only for schools whose grades include grade 3 (Section 1008.34), and Surfside's 2025-26 value of 86 is printed in its row of the workbook (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). Promotion to fourth grade rests on a separate threshold. Florida's student progression law asks for a Level 2 on the grade 3 statewide reading test, and a child whose reading deficiency is still unremedied when grade 3 ends is held back unless the district grants a good cause exemption (Section 1008.25, Florida Statutes).

Section 1008.25 also sets out what parents hear when a child shows a substantial deficiency in reading: written notice describing the deficiency and the planned interventions, and a read-at-home plan with strategies families can use (Section 1008.25). Surfside's own reading resources, listed under Parents and Students, are the New Worlds Reading Initiative, classroom libraries in Beanstack and the Destiny catalog for the media center (Surfside Elementary website).

Surfside Elementary's clubs menu names the Surfside Singers, Safety Patrols, Book Bash Club, Panther News, a Morning Mile Running Club and the Panther Pride Dance Team.

Beyond clubs, the Faculty and Staff menu at the Cassia Boulevard school has pages for Guidance, Media Center, Art, Music and PE, and the Academics menu links a page on what children are expected to learn and the district's instructional materials page (Surfside Elementary website). For families, the site posts Brevard After School, Dismissal Procedures, Military Families, the Paw Print newsletter, a PTO page, School Supply Lists, Student Enrollment, Volunteering and Water Safety.

No: the 2025-26 Surfside row marks the Satellite Beach school as neither Title I nor charter, with 18.6 percent of students economically disadvantaged.

Row 181 holds those values: NO in the charter cell, NO in the Title I cell and 18.6 in the economically disadvantaged cell (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades workbook). Brevard as a whole holds an A for 2025-26 in the state's separate district workbook, which credits district 05 with 810 points from 12 components, or 68 percent, and grades districts on the bands used for combination schools, where 65% of points or greater earns the A (FLDOE 2025-26 district grades workbook). Surfside's scores are part of that district total.

Phones fall under the state school safety statute. Section 1006.07 allows a child to carry a wireless communications device on campus but forbids elementary and middle school students to use it while the school day is under way, leaving detailed rules to each district school board (Section 1006.07, Florida Statutes). Surfside links the Code of Student Conduct and a Bullying and Harassment page from its Parents and Students menu (Surfside Elementary website).

Last verified: October 21, 2026, through new reads of the Surfside Elementary site, the NCES Satellite Beach search, the Surfside row and scale note in the FLDOE school workbook, Brevard's row in the district workbook, and Sections 1006.07, 1008.25 and 1008.34.
