South Lake Elementary School

South Lake Elementary is at 3755 Garden Street, Titusville, FL 32796, phone (321) 264-1137.

The Find Us block on the South Lake Elementary website gives 3755 Garden Street in Titusville, a main phone of 321-264-1137 and a fax line of 321-877-0972 (South Lake Elementary website). The federal locator agrees on the Garden St address and phone and places the school in Brevard County, with kindergarten through grade 6 as its grade span (NCES list for Titusville). The other four district elementary schools in that Titusville list run from pre-kindergarten to grade 6, while South Lake starts at kindergarten, although its website menu does include a VPK page.

The state identifies the Garden Street school as number 0122 in district 05, Brevard, and codes it as school type 01, an elementary school (Florida Department of Education 2025-26 grade file). The South Lake row in that file marks it as neither a charter school nor a Title I school.

South Lake Elementary earned an A in the 2025-26 Florida school grades, with 74 percent of possible points across eight components.

In the state file dated September 1, 2026, South Lake Elementary in Titusville totals 589 points from 8 components, with 99 percent of eligible students tested (Florida Department of Education 2025-26 grade file). For elementary schools the header note of the file draws the lines this way: 62 percent of points or more is an A, 54 to 61 percent a B, 41 to 53 percent a C, 32 to 40 percent a D, and 31 percent or less an F.

In the South Lake row the science achievement line reads 82, the grade 3 reading line 79 and the mathematics learning gains of the lowest 25 percent line 60 (FLDOE). The School Improvement Plans page and a page on accessing a child's state assessment scores are both linked from the South Lake Elementary website for families who want the detail behind these figures (South Lake Elementary website).

For South Lake, Florida law reads an A as a school making excellent progress and lets an A school have greater authority over how its total budget is allocated.

Section 1008.34 grades every Florida school, South Lake included, from A for excellent progress through B, C and D down to F for schools failing to make adequate progress (Florida Statutes, s. 1008.34). Each component counts 100 points and is built on statewide assessments: the percentage of eligible students passing English Language Arts, mathematics, science and social studies, plus learning gains. The statute sets five achievement levels, treats level 3 as satisfactory and counts a student as passing at level 3, 4 or 5.

Two rules in the same statute shape a grade like South Lake's: a school must assess at least 95 percent of its eligible students, and a component is dropped when fewer than 10 students have complete data for it (Florida Statutes, s. 1008.34). Under the same section, a school with an A, or one that rises by at least two letter grades, may have greater authority over the allocation of its total budget, which the statute lists as FEFP, state categorical, lottery, grant and local funds.

Every year the FLDOE file lists for South Lake Elementary, from 2019 through 2026, shows an A, and its columns for 2018 and earlier are empty.

The grade history columns in the South Lake row read A for 2026, 2025 and 2024, A for the 2023 informational baseline, A for 2022 and A for 2019, with the 2021 column blank and no 2020 column in the file (Florida Department of Education 2025-26 grade file). The columns from 2018 back to 1999 carry no grade for school 0122, so the state file offers no South Lake record before 2019. The file does not say why those earlier cells are empty, and no other source fetched for this page explains it.

A separate measure in the same Titusville row puts the share of economically disadvantaged students at 24.8 percent (FLDOE). NCES counted 469 South Lake students in the 2024-2025 school year (NCES list for Titusville).

The South Lake website lists Shark Tank within the Innovation Games, a Strings Club, a Chorus Club, an Art Club and a year-long Destination Mars program.

A home page banner at South Lake Elementary introduces its STEAM curriculum and behavior expectations (South Lake Elementary website). In Shark Tank, part of the Innovation Games, students develop their own product idea; the Strings Club teaches violin, cello and other string instruments; the Chorus Club sings; and the Art Club covers painting, drawing and sculpture. Destination Mars is described on the Titusville school site as year-long missions in which students solve problems using coding, circuits, robotics and engineering design, with the game Minecraft as one of the challenges.

The Academics menu on the South Lake site links a Science and Engineering Information page, online textbooks and CPALMS subject resources, and the About Us menu links a School Bio, a Vision and Mission page and School Hours (South Lake Elementary website). Before and after the bell, the Parents and Students menu lists Brevard After School @ South Lake, an orientation page and newsletters.

South Lake Elementary links school and grade level reading lists, New Worlds Reading, Beanstack and classroom libraries, plus Military Family Information and a Purple Star page.

The reading links sit in the Parents and Students menu of the Garden Street school's website, next to the Library Media Center collection procedures and a school media center search (South Lake Elementary website). The same menu lists Military Family Information and Purple Star, and the district as a whole appears in the 2024-2027 Purple Star School District cohort on the Florida Department of Education designations page (FLDOE Purple Star designations page). The state says a Purple Star designation lasts three school years and recognizes schools that support military families and military-connected students.

Practical links on the South Lake Elementary site include Enrollment/Registration, FOCUS, the School Advisory Council, Water Safety, the Code of Conduct and a Cafeteria page (South Lake Elementary website).

Beanstack, one of the reading links on the South Lake menu, also appears among the vetted online resources of the Brevard County library system, whose Titusville Public Library branch is at 2121 South Hopkins Avenue, phone (321) 264-5026 (Titusville Public Library, Brevard County). The branch page lists hours of 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

The NCES search for Titusville lists four other district elementary schools, Apollo, Coquina, Imperial Estates and Oak Park, plus Sculptor Charter School for kindergarten through grade 8.

The NCES Titusville page notes that student counts come from the official 2024-2025 school-level data while names, addresses and phone numbers are preliminary 2025-2026 submissions, and that the locator is not an endorsement of any school (NCES list for Titusville). The list shows no attendance zones, so which Titusville addresses are assigned to South Lake is a question for the school office at (321) 264-1137.

For the grades after elementary school, the same Titusville search lists Andrew Jackson Middle School at 1515 Knox McRae Dr and James Madison Middle School at 3375 Dairy Rd, both for grades 7 and 8, and two high schools for grades 9 through 12: Astronaut High at 800 War Eagle Blvd and Titusville High at 150 Terrier Trl S (NCES list for Titusville). James Madison Middle shares ZIP 32796 with South Lake.
