Apollo Elementary School

Apollo Elementary School is a Brevard Public Schools campus at 3085 Knox McRae Drive, Titusville, FL 32780, with a main line of 321-267-7890.

The school's own site gives that Knox McRae Drive address, a fax number of 321-269-3838 and the office email Apolloelementary@brevardschools.org (Apollo Elementary website). Its masthead reads To serve every student with excellence as the standard, and its top menu links Peachjar, a calendar and a contact page.

The federal Common Core of Data locator lists Apollo Elementary at 3085 KNOX MCRAE DR, TITUSVILLE, FL 32780, phone (321) 267-7890, in Brevard County, serving PK-6 with 596 students (NCES Titusville school search). Per the notes printed under those results, NCES draws student membership from its official 2024-2025 school level data and the directory fields from initial 2025-2026 submissions, so the 596 count belongs to the 2024-2025 school year.

The same federal search places two more Titusville public schools on Knox McRae Drive: Coquina Elementary School at 850 KNOX MCRAE DR with 466 students in PK-6, and Andrew Jackson Middle School at 1515 KNOX MCRAE DR with 505 students in grades 7-8 (NCES Titusville school search). The locator's other Titusville entries include James Madison Middle School at 3375 DAIRY RD, Astronaut High School at 800 WAR EAGLE BLVD and Titusville High School at 150 TERRIER TRL S. The state identifies Apollo by school number 0061 in the Brevard district, district number 05, in its grade file (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file).

Apollo Elementary earned a C for 2025-26, with 397 points over 8 components and 50 percent of total possible points, according to the Florida Department of Education.

The Apollo row of that workbook, which is dated as of September 1, 2026, shows school type 01, the legend's code for elementary, and 96 under Percent Tested (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file). The note printed above the rows sets the elementary bands: a C covers 41% to 53% of points, a B 54% to 61%, an A 62% of points or greater, a D 32% to 40% and an F 31% of points or less. Apollo's 50 percent sits inside the C band that note describes.

Each column has a statutory meaning. At Apollo, the achievement figures are the share of eligible students who passed the state test in that subject, the gains figures are the share who made Learning Gains, and the two lowest 25 percent figures track only the students placed in that bottom quarter by the previous year's results (Section 1008.34, Florida Statutes). Section 1008.34 attaches the phrase satisfactory progress to a C, the letter Apollo received.

Apollo Elementary was graded A in 1999, 2000 and every year from 2002 through 2014, B in 2001 and from 2015 through 2019, and C in 2022, the 2023 informational baseline, 2024, 2025 and 2026.

The Apollo row in the state workbook runs from a Grade 1999 column to the Grade 2026 column and has no column for 2020; the Grade 2021 cell is empty for the school (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file). The file records each letter without reasons, so this page does not offer any. For the 2015 and 2023 columns, the workbook's own headers use the label Informational Baseline Grade.

The grading rules themselves change over time. Section 1008.34 directs the State Board of Education to review each year the share of A and B grades within each school type and to raise the scale when that share reaches 75 percent or more of graded schools of that type (Section 1008.34). The note in the 2026 workbook prints one set of bands, the 2025-26 scale behind Apollo's 2026 letter.

Yes: the 2025-26 state grade file marks Apollo Elementary as a Title I school, not a charter school, and lists its percent of economically disadvantaged students as 100.

Apollo's row records NO for charter, YES for Title I and 100 for the economically disadvantaged share (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file). The school's site lists a Title 1 page under its Academics menu and a Parent and Family Engagement Plan under About Us (Apollo Elementary website).

A second state document uses a different count. The Florida Department of Education's 2024-25 Title I school list shows APOLLO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, school number 0061, with 641 total students ages 5 to 17, 432 children from low-income families and 67.39% as the percent of children from low-income families, selection code B and program type SW (FLDOE 2024-25 Title I school list). The NCES count of 596 students covers PK-6 enrollment for 2024-2025, while the Title I list counts students ages 5 to 17, so both figures are given here as each agency publishes them.

Apollo Elementary lists string classes on violin, viola, cello and bass, chorus and Orff music, a fine arts program and gifted services on its website.

Under Classical Music the site says students can take string classes and can also join chorus and Orff, where they learn music to sing and play for concerts (Apollo Elementary website). The Fine Arts entry names the art styles covered: realism, abstract, surrealism and modern art, along with primitive and Americana styles. A Gifted entry sits beside them in the programs area.

The Academics menu adds Exceptional Student Education, Physical Education, Guidance and a page on 2024-25 elementary instructional materials, and the Parents and Students menu links Brevard After School (B.A.S), a Military page, Volunteer at Apollo, Rainy Day Dismissal, Early Check-out, Water Safety and media center resources such as Classroom Libraries (Beanstack) (Apollo Elementary website). The Cafeteria menu links a breakfast and a lunch menu, and the About Us menu links the School Improvement Plan, School Report Card, School Data Profile and School Advisory Council (S.A.C) pages.

Apollo's site lists a VPK page, and Florida law makes a child eligible for Voluntary Prekindergarten if the child turns 4 on or before September 1 of the school year.

The VPK entry appears in the Apollo Parents and Students menu (Apollo Elementary website). Under Section 1002.53, an eligible child may attend in that school year or the following one, and a parent may choose a school-year program delivered by a public school, a summer program, a private provider's school-year program or a specialized program for children with disabilities; a district may limit how many students any one public school admits to its school-year program (Section 1002.53, Florida Statutes).

Third grade carries a promotion rule. Under Section 1008.25, an Apollo third grader moves up to grade 4 with a Level 2 or better on the state's grade 3 ELA test, and a reading deficiency still unremedied when grade 3 closes means retention unless the district school board exempts the student for good cause (Section 1008.25, Florida Statutes). The grade 3 line in Apollo's grade calculation is a different measure: Section 1008.34 defines it as the percentage of eligible students scoring achievement level 3 or higher on that assessment (Section 1008.34), and Apollo's figure for 2025-26 is 45 (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file).

Last verified: October 21, 2026, by re-reading Apollo's row and the elementary scale note in the FLDOE workbook, the 2024-25 Title I list, the NCES Titusville locator, the Knox McRae Drive school website and Sections 1002.53, 1008.25 and 1008.34 of the Florida Statutes.
