Viera Schools Ranked Among the Top In Florida

April 23, 2024 – Everybody loves the hometown school, but this feeling is often just an emotional attachment. It’s always nice to have an objective and data-driven reason to be proud. According to the latest U.S. News & World Report Public High School Rankings, which collects data on 25,000 public high schools around the nation, Viera High School is ranked as 113 in Florida and 1,655 in the nation.

And the county of Brevard can also be proud of the school system, since seven schools on the Space Coast made the top 200 in the state of Florida.

Late last year, Brevard Elementary and Middle Schools were also recognized by the publication, with these Viera schools in the list: Viera Elementary School, Manatee Elementary, Quest Elementary, Pinecrest Academy Space Coast and Viera Charter School all with impressive rankings.

According to Floria Today, “To determine the ranking, U.S. News and World Report worked with RTI International, a global nonprofit social science research firm. They summed schools’ weighted scores across six indicators of school quality — college readiness, college curriculum breadth, state assessment proficiency, state assessment performance, underserved student performance and graduation rate — and computed a single 0-100 overall score to indicate each school’s performance across these metrics.”

“The same methodology was used to rank schools nationally and within their states, though ranks were resorted among schools within each state. Individual rankings for schools in the bottom 25% were not released, with ranges posted instead.”

“Nearly 17,660 high schools were ranked nationally, with 647 schools ranked in Florida.”
