Apollo Elementary

All children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments. 

Apollo is part of the Brevard Public Schools’ Title 1 Family. Title I is a federally funded program designed to improve achievement that meet the free and reduced percentage requirement of 63% or higher. The Title I project serves 40 public schools and 27 private schools in Brevard County.

For the 2023-24 school year, Apollo received funds to pay for services and programs for our students. Our goal is to help our students be successful learners. With the continual input and feedback from all of our parents, students, faculty, community partners, and business partners, this process will help us plan together how these monies will be spent.

Title I provides support through resources and research-based training, enabling schools to develop high quality, enriched programs that meet the individual needs of all children, families, and staff.

By providing a positive, caring environment with high educational expectations, Title I safeguards that all individuals feel capable, connected, and able to make worthwhile contributions to their community. Title I schools design their own program, including grade levels and subject areas to be served, instructional models, and staffing plan based upon the unique needs of students at that school. Each school coordinates the Title I plan with the schoolwide improvement plan.

Our Title 1 team is a valuable asset to our school.  The Title 1 team helps students in small group to help better their understanding of their educational needs. They help students in both reading and math skills. Our team also organizes family events and in school events to provide opportunity for parent involvement at Apollo.
