I live on Merritt Island. I don't know much about schools (no kids), but housing here is a good deal right now.

Just in case you haven't seen this website, it compares standardized tests at various schools to the state average, with ratings of 1 to 10. Also provides places for comments by parents.

I live in South Orlando. The Hunter's Creek area. It's 30 minutes from my house to the gate. Been here since 2002.
It's pretty convenient to everything.
Schools are as good as you make them. Great neighborhood, with lots of activities.

Thanks for the schools link. I'm about to get displaced out of my base, so I figure if I'm going to commute, I may as well move back to where I WANT to live. Lived in MCO for 10 years and moved when I got this job. Be glad to go back finally.

You can find information on any public school in Florida here - School Accountability Report ..
For information on FCAT assessment - https://app1.fldoe.org/FCATDemographics/
I work for the Florida Department of Education as a Data Analyst; to determine "high performing" or "good schools" we usually look at School grades, AYP and/or FCAT assessment data. There's plenty of data available on the state's website at FLDOE Home, but you can also find details about schools on district websites.
P.s. MCO is in Orange County, not Brevard
