Hoover Middle School

Hoover Middle School is the Brevard Public Schools grade 7 and 8 campus at 2000 Hawk Haven Drive, Indialantic, FL 32903, telephone 321-727-1611.

Hoover Middle's website footer gives the Hawk Haven Drive address, the 321-727-1611 phone line and a fax at 321-735-9726, and the gallery banner reads Welcome to Herbert C. Hoover Middle School (Hoover Middle site). Federal school data list herbert c. hoover middle school at 2000 HAWK HAVEN DR, INDIALANTIC, FL 32903, with 473 students in grades 7-8 (NCES Indialantic search). NCES dates that student count to 2024-2025 and marks the address and phone as preliminary 2025-2026 entries.

The Indialantic search holds one other public school, Indialantic Elementary School at 1050 N PALM AVE, a PK-6 campus with 662 students (NCES Indialantic search). For Melbourne Beach, the federal search returns a single public school, Gemini Elementary School at 2100 OAK ST, also PK-6 (NCES Melbourne Beach search). None of the pages cited here publish attendance zones, so the middle school assigned to a particular beachside address is confirmed with Brevard Public Schools. The state's grade workbook carries Hoover as school 6082 in district 05, school type 02, a middle school (FLDOE school grades workbook).

Hoover Middle received an A for 2025-26, with 602 points from 9 components, 67 percent of the possible total, and 98 percent of eligible students tested.

Those numbers are read from row 184 of the department's school grades workbook, whose header dates it to September 1, 2026 (FLDOE school grades workbook). For middle schools the workbook's note draws the A line at 64% of points or greater; a B covers 57% to 63%, a C 44% to 56%, a D 34% to 43% and an F 33% or less. Hoover's 98 percent tested sits above the statutory floor in Section 1008.34, under which every school must test no fewer than 95 percent of its eligible students (Section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

Within Hoover's own row, social studies achievement reads 86 and middle school acceleration 83, while mathematics learning gains read 43 (FLDOE school grades workbook). At a grade 7 and 8 school like Hoover, the acceleration line counts eligible students who either pass a high school level statewide end-of-course exam or earn an industry certification that appears on the state's CAPE funding list (Section 1008.34). In the Hoover row the two learning gains lines for mathematics, 43 overall and 53 for the lowest quarter, and the ELA gains lines, 62 and 58, are reported as published, without any reason in the file.

The Indialantic middle school was graded B in 1999 and in 2022, and A in every other year the workbook records a letter, through 2026.

The Hoover row does not explain the B in 2022 or the return to A in the 2023 baseline year; it records letters only (FLDOE school grades workbook). Florida's accountability statute gives an A school, which it describes as making excellent progress, room for greater authority over its total budget, and a school grading scale that the State Board must raise for a school type once A and B grades reach 75 percent or more of that type (Section 1008.34).

Hoover Middle's Academics menu names International Baccalaureate, a REACH Academy, and 2026-2027 applications for Science Research, TV Production and Yearbook.

The menu titles are what the Hawk Haven Drive school posts; entry rules for REACH Academy or IB are not stated on the home page cited here (Hoover Middle site). Its Departments menu adds School Counseling, School Technology and Art, and the Parents and Students menu adds 2026 - 2027 Enrollment Information, Attendance Procedures, Exceptional Education, an Instructional Handbook and a Dress Code Do's and Dont's page.

Before a Hoover Middle student moves on to high school, Florida requires three courses each in English Language Arts, mathematics, social studies and science, plus a career and education planning course.

For Hoover students and every other Florida middle grades student, those requirements are in Section 1003.4156, which also requires one of the social studies courses to be a civics education course of at least one semester; the statewide civics end-of-course assessment makes up 30 percent of the student's final course grade (Section 1003.4156, Florida Statutes). For high school credit in Biology I, a middle grades student must take the Biology I EOC, which also counts for 30 percent of the final course grade, and pass the course.

The career and education planning course may be taken in grade 6, 7 or 8 and must be Internet-based and end in a completed personalized academic and career plan that informs students of high school graduation requirements (Section 1003.4156). The statute adds that the plan must stress entrepreneurship and employability skills, that each student is taught how to access and update it, and that students are encouraged to update it at least annually through middle and high school. A student who moves into a Florida public school such as Hoover from out of state or from a private or home education program after the second term of grade 8 begins is excused from the civics promotion requirement if the transcript shows three social studies courses, or two year-long ones, covering civics. Hoover Middle's Academics menu links High School Information and a page where students enter course requests (Hoover Middle site).

Hoover Middle lists clubs such as Sources of Strength, the Hoover Maker Club and National Junior Honor Society, and sports from basketball to volleyball.

Its Clubs and Activities menu also names Band and Orchestra, the Hoover Library Leaders Club, Soaring Hawks and the Hoover Mentoring Program, which the Indialantic school says matches positive community mentors with students for social and emotional support (Hoover Middle site). The Hoover Middle home page describes its Band and Orchestra website as devoted to promoting the instrumental music program at Hoover Middle School in Indialantic, Florida. Its Athletics menu lists boys basketball, girls basketball, cheerleading, boys soccer, girls soccer, dance team, track and volleyball, with a page of required athletic forms.

On status, row 184 of the 2025-26 workbook reads NO for Title I and NO for charter, and 30 for the percent of economically disadvantaged students (FLDOE school grades workbook). Brevard's district result, which Hoover's scores feed, is an A for 2025-26 at 68 percent of possible points in the state district file (FLDOE 2025-26 district grades). Section 1006.07 lets a Hoover student keep a phone or other wireless communications device on campus while barring middle school students from using it during the school day, and it leaves the detailed rules to the district school board (Section 1006.07, Florida Statutes).

Last verified: October 21, 2026, against the Hoover row and middle school scale in the FLDOE workbook, Brevard's district row, the NCES Indialantic and Melbourne Beach searches, the Hawk Haven Drive school site, and Sections 1003.4156, 1006.07 and 1008.34.
