Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) problems
At the end of the 2005-2006 school year, Brevard Public School District conducted an internal investigation of Cocoa High which resulted in the removal of four of the school's principals. The administration at the school inaccurately reported its FCAT information. The District found that the school's principal, and three assistant principals, were involved in the scandal. All four administrators were removed from their positions.
In 2007, the school scored a "D" based on the standardized testing for the year, the lowest score in the district.
