Beachland Elementary School

Beachland Elementary School in Vero Beach received an A in the 2025-26 Florida school grades, earning 68 percent of the points available (state grades workbook, row 1730).

The workbook carries the date September 1, 2026, and files Beachland as school 0061 in district 31, Indian River (FLDOE school grades workbook). For an elementary school its header note puts an A at 62 percent of points or greater and a B at 54 to 61 percent. There is no 2020 column at all, and the 2021 cell on the Beachland row is empty, so those years are left out of the table above.

The one C on the Beachland row falls in 2018, between an A in 2017 and an A in 2019 (state grades workbook, row 1730). Florida law reads an A as excellent progress, a B as above average progress and a C as satisfactory progress (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

Third grade reading was the top Beachland component at 95, and mathematics gains among the lowest 25 percent of students was the bottom one at 32 (state grades workbook, row 1730).

The 97 percent tested figure on the Beachland row of the Vero Beach school's grade clears the state floor in section 1008.34(3), under which a school must test at least 95 percent of the students eligible (section 1008.34(3)).

Beachland is marked NO in the Title I column and NO in the charter column, and the workbook lists 44 in its column for the percent of economically disadvantaged students (state grades workbook, row 1730). The district notice of no-charge meals for 2026-2027 names Fellsmere Academy for breakfast and lunch, and Pelican Island Classical Magnet School, Dodgertown Elementary, Citrus Elementary, Indian River Academy and Vero Beach Elementary for breakfast only; Beachland is not on that list (SDIRC notification of free meals, 2026-2027).

Yes: the Census geocoder matches 3350 Indian River Drive E to Vero Beach city, GEOID 1274150, and returns no census designated place for the address (Census geocoder result for the Beachland address).

The school website lists 3350 Indian River Drive E, Vero Beach, FL 32963, a main number of (772) 564-3300 and a fax line of (772) 564-3350 (Beachland Elementary School website).

The district's own 2026-2027 Parent Guide prints the street differently, as 3350 Indian River Blvd. E., with the same 564-3300 number and the tag #MyBES (SDIRC 2026-2027 Parent Guide, page 14). The federal school search follows the website, printing 3350 INDIAN RIVER DR E (NCES school list, Indian River County, page 1). The Census geocoder matched the Drive form as 3350 INDIAN RIVER DR E, VERO BEACH, FL, 32963 (Census geocoder).

Beachland Elementary runs from 9:00 am to 3:40 pm and serves prekindergarten through grade 5 (Beachland Elementary School website).

Those times are the 2026-27 schedule for every Indian River County elementary school, and modified days at Beachland end at 1:50 p.m. (Parent Guide school schedules, page 13). The prekindergarten seats come through the state Voluntary Prekindergarten program: the Parent Guide lists full day VPK of 540 hours at Beachland Elementary, Dodgertown Elementary, Fellsmere Elementary, Indian River Academy, Pelican Island Classical Magnet, Sebastian Elementary and Vero Beach Elementary, and it notes that district VPK does not include transportation or before and after care (Parent Guide, Voluntary Prekindergarten).

Federal data count 534 Beachland Elementary students in prekindergarten through grade 5, with membership taken from 2024-2025 and the name, address and phone marked as preliminary 2025-2026 data (NCES school list, page 1). The school website describes Beachland as A School of STEAM Enrichment and closes its banner with Come ride the wave of success (school website).

New Beachland Elementary students enroll through the Focus Parent Portal, where the district keeps the online application open all year (SDIRC 2026-2027 Parent Guide, page 23).

A Beachland kindergartner must turn 5 on or before September 1, and a child entering first grade in Indian River County for the first time must be 6 by that date and show completion of kindergarten (Parent Guide enrollment requirements). The checklist covers proof of birth, a driver's license or other photo ID, a school physical less than one year old at the start of school, a DOH form 680 immunization certificate, emergency contacts and proof of residence in the form of a lease or mortgage plus two current utility bills; a Social Security number is optional.

Families seeking a Beachland seat apply through School Choice, which opens each November 1 and runs to the end of June for the next year, allows up to three choice schools per student and gives ten days to accept or decline after the lottery (Parent Guide, School Choice). The district's choice openings sheet updated June 1, 2026, shows Beachland Elementary (K-5) with zero openings in kindergarten and in each grade from 1 through 5 (SDIRC Public School Choice Openings, 2026-2027).

Beachland Elementary is a registration site for the district Extended Day Program, which runs 7:00 to 8:30 a.m. and 3:40 to 6:00 p.m. on regular school days for kindergarten through grade 5 (SDIRC 2026-2027 Parent Guide, page 45).

The guide lists a Beachland Elementary Online Registration link but asks families to use it only for a child new to Extended Day, an incoming kindergartner or a transfer, and to call 772-564-4999 first when unsure (Parent Guide, Extended Day registration). Last verified: October 22, 2026, against Beachland row 1730 of the state workbook, the Beachland homepage, the Parent Guide pages on contacts, schedules, VPK, enrollment and Extended Day, the June choice sheet, the meals notice, the NCES list and a fresh Census geocoder match.
