Andrew Jackson Middle School

Andrew Jackson Middle School is a Brevard Public Schools campus at 1515 Knox McRae Dr., Titusville, FL 32780, serving grades 7 and 8.

The school website gives the main office phone as 321-269-1812 and the fax as 321-735-9728 (Jackson Middle, Brevard Public Schools). The federal school search lists the same Knox McRae Drive address and phone, places the school in Brevard County and records 505 students in grades 7 and 8 for the 2024-2025 year (NCES Titusville school search).

Two elementary schools share Knox McRae Drive with Jackson Middle: the same NCES search lists Apollo Elementary School at 3085 Knox McRae Dr and Coquina Elementary School at 850 Knox McRae Dr, each serving prekindergarten through grade 6 (NCES Titusville list). On that list the one other school serving only grades 7 and 8 is James Madison Middle School at 3375 Dairy Rd, and Sculptor Charter School at 1301 Armstrong Dr runs from kindergarten through grade 8. After grade 8, the same federal list shows two Titusville public high schools for grades 9 through 12: Astronaut High School at 800 War Eagle Blvd and Titusville High School at 150 Terrier Trl S.

Jackson Middle earned a C in Florida's 2025-26 school grades, released as of September 1, 2026, with 55 percent of total possible points.

Row 110 of the state workbook shows Andrew Jackson Middle School, school number 0141, with 499 total points earned across 9 components, 55 percent of total possible points and 98 percent of eligible students tested (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file). The note at the top of the same file sets the middle school scale: an A at 64 percent of points or greater, a B at 57 to 63 percent, a C at 44 to 56 percent, a D at 34 to 43 percent and an F at 33 percent or less. Jackson's 55 percent sits inside the C band.

Jackson's row leaves three columns empty: grade 3 English Language Arts achievement, graduation rate 2024-25 and college and career acceleration 2024-25 (FLDOE components, row 110).

Florida's grading statute defines a C school as one making satisfactory progress, and each Jackson Middle component is a percentage of eligible students meeting a test-based measure.

Under Section 1008.34, state tests have five achievement levels, level 3 marks satisfactory performance, and a student passes with a level 3, 4 or 5 (Section 1008.34, Florida Statutes). The achievement figures in the Jackson Middle table are pass rates on that basis, so the social studies score of 72 is the percentage of eligible Jackson Middle students in Titusville passing the statewide social studies assessment.

The learning gains columns measure something different. The statute describes Learning Gains as the degree of growth in a student's learning from one school year to the next, as set by State Board of Education rule, and it requires students who scored below levels 3, 4 and 5 the year before to show growth toward those levels (Section 1008.34). The statute builds each learning gains component as the percentage of eligible students who make Learning Gains, so the 39 in Jackson Middle's mathematics learning gains column counts students showing growth, while the 47 in mathematics achievement counts students passing. The middle school acceleration score of 71 counts eligible students who passed a high school level end-of-course exam or earned an industry certification on the state's CAPE funding list, a component the statute applies to schools serving grades 6 through 8 or grades 7 and 8.

The FLDOE file shows Jackson Middle with a C for 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022, and an A or a B in each year it lists from 2002 through 2019.

The state workbook carries Jackson Middle's letter grades back to 1999, when the school earned a C (FLDOE grade history, row 110). The 2021 column is blank on the school's row, and the 2015 and 2023 grades are labeled informational baselines in the column headings.

The state publishes every Florida school's grade history in that one workbook, so a Titusville family can set Jackson Middle's row beside Madison Middle's row 105 in the same file (FLDOE 2025-26 school grades file).

Yes: the 2025-26 school grades file marks Jackson Middle as a Title I school, and the state's 2024-25 Title I list includes it with a schoolwide program code.

The FLDOE grades workbook flags Jackson Middle as Title I, not a charter school, school type 02 (middle), with 84.2 percent of students economically disadvantaged (FLDOE 2025-26 file, row 110). The separate 2024-25 Title I school list shows Andrew Jackson Middle School as a Middle/Junior school with 538 students ages 5 to 17, 320 children from low-income families, a low-income share of 59.48 percent, selection code B and program type SW (FLDOE 2024-25 Title I school list).

The NCES search, for its part, records 505 Jackson Middle students for 2024-2025, while the state Title I list counts 538 students ages 5 to 17; each figure is given here as its own source states it (NCES Titusville search). The school's own site keeps a Title I page in its Parents and Students menu (Jackson Middle website).

Jackson Middle's website lists a Cambridge Program, Careers in Technical Education, Gifted and Music Program pages, with a club roster that runs from Best Buddies to a Step Dance Team.

The Academics menu on the school site carries pages for the Cambridge Program (with parent testimonials), Careers in Technical Education (CTE), Gifted, the Generals Instructional Handbook, the Media Center and the Music Program (Jackson Middle, Brevard Public Schools). Under Clubs and Activities the site names Best Buddies, Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), Sources of Strength, a Library Leaders Club, the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), the Student Government Association (SGA), a STEM Club and a Step Dance Team, and it invites students to join an Art Club after school. The NJHS entry describes the society as dedicated to character, academic, leadership and citizenship development and community service.

Jackson Middle's athletics pages cover cheerleading, boys basketball and girls basketball. For parents, the menu holds grade 7 and grade 8 pages on Florida's Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking, each with a Spanish version, plus FAST Testing, an Electronic Device Policy, a PTO page, monthly newsletters (the September 2026 and October 2026 issues are posted) and an overview of the Varsity Tutors Live+AI platform.

Jackson Middle posts Purple Star planning resources for military families on its website, and Brevard is one of the state's Purple Star School Districts of Distinction.

The school's Programs list includes Purple Star Planning resources for Military Families, and its Parents and Students menu has a Purple Star page (Jackson Middle website).

On the Department of Education's Purple Star page, Brevard, the school district Jackson Middle in Titusville belongs to, appears in the 2024-2027 cohort of Purple Star School Districts of Distinction, and the department reports 202 schools earning the Purple Star School of Distinction designation for 2025-26 through 2027-28 (FLDOE Purple Star page). The same page links PDF lists of the individual Purple Star Schools of Distinction by cohort, from 2022-2025 through 2025-2028.

Last verified: October 21, 2026, with Jackson Middle's row 110 and the scale note rechecked in the FLDOE workbook, plus the 2024-25 Title I list, the NCES Titusville search, the Knox McRae Drive campus website, the state Purple Star page and Section 1008.34.
