Central Middle School

Central Middle School is a Brevard Public Schools campus for grades 7 and 8 at 2600 Wingate Blvd., West Melbourne, FL 32904, phone (321) 722-4150.

The Central Middle website gives the Wingate Boulevard address with a fax line of (321) 877-0912 and the office email CentralMiddle@brevardschools.org, and its photo banner reads Central Middle School Home of the Eagles (Central Middle website). The federal school locator returns a single record for a Florida public school named Central Middle: 2600 WINGATE BLVD, WEST MELBOURNE, FL 32904, Brevard County, 1,059 students in grades 7-8 (NCES search for Central Middle). NCES labels the student count as 2024-2025 data and the address and phone as preliminary 2025-2026 directory entries.

Two elementary schools share Wingate Boulevard in the West Melbourne search: Meadowlane Intermediate Elementary School at 2700 WINGATE BLVD, 779 students in grades 3-6, and Meadowlane Primary Elementary School at 2800 WINGATE BLVD, 603 students in PK-2 (NCES West Melbourne school search). The Florida Department of Education files Central Middle under Brevard district 05 as school number 3021, school type 02, middle (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file).

Central Middle in West Melbourne earned a B for 2025-26, with 568 points across 9 components and 63 percent of total possible points.

The state workbook, dated as of September 1, 2026, also records that 97 percent of Central Middle's eligible students were tested (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file). For middle schools the note above the rows reads: A at 64% of points or greater, B from 57% to 63%, C from 44% to 56%, D from 34% to 43%, and F at 33% of points or less. The statute behind the letters labels a B, Central's 2025-26 result, as above average progress and reserves excellent progress for an A (Section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

In the Central Middle row, social studies achievement reads 75 and mathematics achievement 70, while the ELA learning gains line for the lowest 25 percent reads 51 (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file). The statute defines that line as the share of eligible students in the lowest quarter in English Language Arts, judged by the prior year's results, who make Learning Gains (Section 1008.34).

Central Middle's scores also feed the district result. The state's 2025-26 district grades workbook gives Brevard, district 05, an A with 810 points over 12 components and 68 percent of possible points, after A grades in 2025 and 2024; the district file notes that its scale mirrors the combination school scale, with an A at 65% of points or greater (FLDOE 2025-26 district grades file). The West Melbourne school is graded on its own middle school scale above, not on that district scale.

Central Middle held an A in every year from 2003 through 2012, moved between B and C from 2013 to 2024, and earned B grades in 2025 and 2026.

Central Middle's row has a blank cell under Grade 2021, and the workbook carries no 2020 column at all (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file). The file states the letters without explanation, so no reason for any change is offered on this page.

Central Middle's middle school acceleration score of 80 measures eligible students passing high school level end-of-course exams or earning approved industry certifications.

Because Central enrolls only grades 7 and 8, Section 1008.34 builds this line from two routes: high school level end-of-course exams that eligible students pass, and national industry certifications on the CAPE funding list that they attain (Section 1008.34). The Academics menu on the Central Middle website names Algebra 1, International Baccalaureate, PSAT, Career and Technical Education, AVID, Physical Education and the Media Center (Central Middle website).

Moving on to high school has its own state checklist. To leave the middle grades for high school, Section 1003.4156 calls for three courses apiece in English Language Arts, mathematics, social studies and science at the middle grades level or higher, with a civics course of at least one semester among the social studies three (Section 1003.4156, Florida Statutes). The same section requires every school with middle grades to offer at least one high school level mathematics course for high school credit, and a Central student taking Algebra I for high school credit must sit the statewide Algebra I end-of-course exam, which makes up 30 percent of the course grade, and pass the course. Central Middle's Parents and Students menu links pages titled Promotion Requirements and Middle School Grade Level Assignment Procedures (Central Middle website).

Central Middle lists career and technical courses, AVID, the RISE accelerated learning program, PBIS, and clubs and sports from band to volleyball.

The programs panel on the Central site lists these career and technical study options: coding, robotics, culinary, sports medicine, computer apps and digital information technology (Central Middle website). AVID is described there by its mission of closing the achievement gap by preparing all students for college and career readiness, RISE as a program established for accelerated learning at CMS and designed for gifted and academically talented students, and PBIS as a school-wide framework for a safe and effective learning environment. The Parents and Students menu also posts Elective Course Descriptions, a Student Handbook and a Mentor CMS Students page.

The Central Middle menus give names only; meeting times, tryout dates and fees for these West Melbourne clubs and teams are not posted on the pages cited here (Central Middle website).

No: the 2025-26 state grade file lists Central Middle as neither a Title I school nor a charter school, with 55.9 percent of students economically disadvantaged.

In row 152 the charter and Title I cells both read NO and the economically disadvantaged cell reads 55.9 (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file). The school's Cafeteria menu links a Free Reduced Lunch page and My Payments Plus (Central Middle website).

Phones follow a state rule as well as the school's own page. Section 1006.07 lets a student possess a wireless communications device on school property, but says elementary and middle school students may not use one during the school day, and directs each district school board to adopt rules on device use (Section 1006.07, Florida Statutes). Central Middle posts a page titled Cell Phone Rules 2024-2025 in its Parents and Students menu, next to the Student Code of Conduct and a Teacher Out-of-Field Notice to Parents (Central Middle website).

Last verified: October 21, 2026, after a fresh read of the Wingate Boulevard school's website, both NCES searches, row 152 and the middle school scale in the FLDOE 2025-26 workbook, and Sections 1003.4156, 1006.07 and 1008.34 of the Florida Statutes.
