Summary

Pensacola Beach Elementary School Inc is a small, public K-5 school on Santa Rosa Island in Pensacola Beach, FL, serving just 115 students and consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Florida despite being part of the lower-performing Escambia district.

This school is an academic powerhouse, achieving a 94% proficiency rate in both 5th-grade Science and Math in the 2025-2026 school year. Its Science score is a standout, surpassing nearby high-performers like Gulf Breeze Elementary School (80%) and N. B. Cook Elementary School (84%) in the same district. The school’s success is supported by a very low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, which is lower than all other nearby physical schools, and a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.0%. This contrasts sharply with other Escambia schools like O. J. Semmes Elementary School and Warrington Elementary School, which face significant challenges with high poverty and absenteeism rates above 59%.

Pensacola Beach Elementary achieves its top-tier results with efficient spending of $9,615 per student, which is lower than every other physical school in the Escambia district. It stands as a "diamond in the rough," performing on par with the best schools in the neighboring, higher-ranked Santa Rosa district, such as Oriole Beach Elementary School. While its state ranking has seen a slight dip from its historic peak in the top 20, it remains in the top 7% of all Florida elementary schools, making it an elite choice for families seeking a highly supportive and academically focused environment.
