West Melbourne Elementary School for Science

West Melbourne Elementary School for Science is a Brevard Public Schools campus at 2255 Meadowlane Avenue in West Melbourne, and its office phone is 321-956-5040.

On its own website the school goes by West Melbourne School for Science and lists the Meadowlane Avenue address, ZIP 32904, with 321-956-5040 for the phone and 321-735-9765 for the fax (West Melbourne School for Science website).

Official files abbreviate the name. The federal locator lists it as w. melbourne elementary school for science, 2255 MEADOWLANE AVE, WEST MELBOURNE, FL 32904, Brevard County, with 605 students and grades PK-6 (NCES school search), and the state workbook spells it W. MELBOURNE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR SCIENCE under Brevard district 05, school number 2042, type 01 Elementary (Florida Department of Education 2025-26 school grades file). Its enrollment column is from 2024-2025, and the address and phone are flagged as preliminary 2025-2026 values.

The West Melbourne campus is one of seven public schools the NCES search returns for the city, and the only one with Science in its name; the same list places Meadowlane Intermediate Elementary at 2700 WINGATE BLVD with 779 students in grades 3-6 (NCES West Melbourne school search).

The School for Science earned an A for 2025-26 with 696 points across 8 components, which the state reports as 87 percent of possible points.

Every eligible student at the West Melbourne school was tested, 100 percent, according to row 134 of the Florida Department of Education 2025-26 school grades file, which is dated as of September 1, 2026. An elementary A begins at 62% of points under the scale note at the top of the file, and Florida law describes an A as a school making excellent progress (Florida Statutes 1008.34).

Brevard's figures in the table sit in row 9 of the FLDOE 2025-26 district grades workbook, which gives the district an A at 68 percent of possible points; a note in that file says district grades follow the combination school scale, where an A starts at 65% of points.

The School for Science row in the state file holds an A in every graded year printed from 2003 through 2026, with an N in the 2002 column and blank cells before that.

The workbook prints the 2002 entry for the West Melbourne school as the letter N, and its legend defines only the school type codes, so the N is given as printed (Florida Department of Education 2025-26 school grades file). There is no 2020 column in the file, and the 2015 and 2023 columns carry the heading Informational Baseline Grade.

The School for Science's 88 in science achievement is the percentage of its eligible students who passed Florida's statewide science assessment, the test the school grade counts for science.

For the West Melbourne school and every other Florida school, the grading statute lists science among the achievement components, defined as the percentage of eligible students passing statewide, standardized assessments in science (Florida Statutes 1008.34). The assessment law requires the statewide science assessment to be given at least once at the elementary level and once at the middle grades level, and it scores the ELA, mathematics and science tests on achievement levels 1 through 5, with level 3 marking grade-level performance (Florida Statutes 1008.22).

Brevard's district row lists 67 on the same science line (Florida Department of Education 2025-26 school grades file; district file). On the school's own site, the Academics menu groups Art, Media, Music, Physical Education and STEAM Education under Activity Classes, and the program list includes Destination Mars and Robotics (West Melbourne School for Science website).

The school's home page lists four programs: Future Problem Solvers, Destination Mars for grades 5 and 6, Odyssey of the Mind and Robotics.

Of those four, Destination Mars is the only one the West Melbourne site ties to particular grades and to a schedule, after school (West Melbourne School for Science website). The Clubs and Activities menu holds a single Clubs and Activities page rather than a club-by-club list, so families looking for meeting days or team openings are pointed to that page and the front office.

No. The School for Science is marked neither Title I nor charter in the 2025-26 state file, which puts its economically disadvantaged share at 17.2 percent.

In row 134 the Charter School and Title I cells read NO, the Alternative/ESE Center School cell reads N and the economically disadvantaged cell reads 17.2 (Florida Department of Education 2025-26 school grades file). The West Melbourne school's Cafeteria menu links a Letter to Households, the WMSS Menu and BPS Food and Nutrition Services (West Melbourne School for Science website).

Several menu entries matter before the first day. The About Us menu has School Hours, a New Addition page, the School Improvement Plan and the School Advisory Committee, and the Parents and Students menu links School Supplies, a Uniform Ordering Link, the WMSS Student Handbook, Volunteer Information, a page titled Live + AI Tutoring (FREE!), Purple Star and Water Safety (West Melbourne School for Science website). The home page does not print the bell times or the uniform rules themselves, so the School Hours page and the handbook are the documents to read.

Prekindergarten is the first grade in the federal span for the Meadowlane Avenue school, PK-6 (NCES school search). Florida's Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program is open to a child living in the state who reaches age 4 by September 1, in that school year or the one after, and stays open until the child enters kindergarten or turns 6 by February 1 (Florida Statutes 1002.53). Among the program types a West Melbourne parent may pick, the statute names a school-year prekindergarten program delivered by a public school and a specialized instructional services program for children with disabilities who have a current individual educational plan, and the parent applies to the early learning coalition rather than to the school.

Last verified: October 21, 2026, once the Meadowlane Avenue school's home page, the two NCES searches, row 134 and the scale note in the FLDOE school workbook, Brevard's district row, and Florida Statutes 1002.53, 1008.22 and 1008.34 had been fetched again.
