Florida's spreadsheet of school grades identifies the Melbourne school as number 3031 in Brevard, district 05, and codes it 02, a middle school (state school grades spreadsheet, Johnson row).

Johnson Middle in Melbourne earned a B for 2025-26, scoring 60 percent of the points available.

Florida's grades file, current as of September 1, 2026, shows the Melbourne middle school earning 536 points from 9 graded components and testing 98 percent of eligible students (state school grades spreadsheet, Johnson row). Middle schools are graded on a separate scale from high schools: a B covers 57 to 63 percent of points, an A starts at 64 percent and a C runs from 44 to 56 percent (FLDOE scale for middle schools). Under Florida law a B marks above average progress, and no school may test fewer than 95 percent of eligible students (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

At Melbourne's Johnson Middle, the acceleration score of 82 measures high school level work by seventh and eighth graders, and its four learning gains scores measure year to year growth in reading and math.

The 2025-26 file gives the Melbourne school 82 for middle school acceleration, 68 for social studies achievement and 65 for mathematics achievement (Johnson component scores, FLDOE). For a school made up of grades 7 and 8, section 1008.34 defines acceleration as the percentage of eligible students who pass high school level statewide end-of-course assessments or earn a national industry certification on the CAPE Industry Certification Funding List (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

Learning gains are reported twice in each subject. At the Croton Road school in Melbourne, ELA gains were 54 for all eligible students and 42 for students in the lowest 25 percent, while math gains were 57 for all students and 64 for the lowest 25 percent; science achievement stood at 45 (Johnson component scores, FLDOE). Under the statute, the lowest 25 percent group is set by each student's results on the previous year's state tests, and the way growth is measured comes from rules of the State Board of Education (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

The Melbourne middle school earned A grades in 2001 to 2003 and 2005 to 2011, alternated between B and C from 2012 to 2019, and had C grades in 2022 to 2025 before the 2026 B.

Each Florida school's grade record back to 1999 sits in the same state spreadsheet (Johnson grade record, FLDOE). For the Melbourne school, 2015 and 2023 are marked as informational baseline years, and the 2021 column is blank.

The cut points can move between years. Section 1008.34 says that if three quarters or more of Florida's graded middle schools, or of another school type, earn an A or B in a year, the state raises the minimum percentages behind each letter for the following year (section 1008.34, Florida Statutes).

Johnson Middle in Melbourne runs AVID and a Cambridge program, electives from aviation to TV production, girls and boys sports and clubs such as E-Sports and a math team.

The Melbourne school says its AVID elective is designed to close the achievement gap and prepare students for college, and that its Cambridge Program strives to prepare students for a rigorous course of study at whichever high school they plan to attend; Cambridge has its own overview and application page (L.B. Johnson Middle programs). Elective choices on the menu are Advanced Art, Yearbooks, Aviation, Pit Crew, Science Research, TV Production, Beginning Band and D.I.T. Digital Information Technology, with music, art and drama listed among the arts.

Johnson Middle is a Title I school in Melbourne, and its website links a Purple Star page plus a welcome section for military families changing schools.

Florida's grades file flags the Croton Road school as Title I and puts 83.3 percent of its Melbourne students in the economically disadvantaged group (Johnson Title I flag, FLDOE). Families can find the school's Title I Information page under Parents and Students (L.B. Johnson Middle site).

The Melbourne home page tells military families that they have unique needs and challenges and links supports for school transitions (L.B. Johnson Middle site). Florida's Purple Star Campus program, in section 1003.051, sets minimum duties for a participating school: designate a staff member as military liaison, post resources for military students and their families on a page of the school website, maintain a student-led transition program, offer professional learning for staff on military student issues and reserve at least 5 percent of controlled open enrollment seats for military students (section 1003.051, Florida Statutes). The statute's definition of a military student covers dependents of current or former members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard, of reserve components and of the Florida National Guard.
