Summary

Oakcrest Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Pensacola, Florida, with 483 students. The school is part of the Escambia School District, which is ranked 52 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Oakcrest Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oakcrest Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 44.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Oakcrest students perform well below their peers at the district and state level across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20-30% of Oakcrest students were proficient in English Language Arts and 38-55% were proficient in Math, compared to 53-57% and 52-63% at the district and state levels, respectively. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64.18% to 74.95% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Oakcrest Elementary to nearby schools in the Escambia School District, it is clear that Oakcrest is an outlier, performing significantly worse across all key metrics. For example, Myrtle Grove Elementary, West Pensacola Elementary, and Sherwood Elementary all have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients. Despite the challenges faced by Oakcrest Elementary, the higher spending per student suggests that the school may have access to additional resources that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes through targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the socioeconomic needs of the student population.
