Summary

Blue Angels Elementary School in Pensacola, FL, serves 663 students in grades PK-5 within the Escambia County School District and has maintained a stable 3-star rating for the past five years, placing it in the 60th-69th percentile statewide. This school stands out as a solid, middle-of-the-pack performer relative to all Florida elementary schools, but it is a clear academic leader in its immediate geographic cluster, where many nearby schools struggle with proficiency rates in the 20s and 30s. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 5th Grade ELA proficiency at Blue Angels is 76%, compared to just 34% at Oakcrest Elementary School and 33% at Warrington Elementary School, a gap of over 40 percentage points.

One of the most striking differentiators for Blue Angels is its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.1% (2023-2024), which is dramatically lower than its neighbors—Warrington Elementary has a staggering 59% rate, and Oakcrest, Global Learning Academy, and Navy Point Elementary School are all above 40%. The school also serves a moderately high-poverty population, with approximately 55% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, which is significantly lower than many nearby counterparts like Global Learning Academy (80%) and Myrtle Grove Elementary School (81%). Blue Angels has shown remarkable growth in 5th Grade Science, with scores rising from 48% (2022-2023) to 71% (2024-2025), far outpacing district and state averages.

However, Blue Angels is not the top performer in its immediate area, as Pleasant Grove Elementary School, located just 2.22 miles away, has surged ahead with a 4-star rating and outperforms Blue Angels in nearly every test score category (e.g., 3rd Grade Math: 84% vs. 69%). Hellen Caro Elementary School (4.1 miles away) is another high-performing peer with a lower poverty rate (43.5%) and the lowest chronic absenteeism in the cluster (18.3%). Blue Angels sits in a "middle ground" between these high-performers and struggling schools like Warrington and Oakcrest. The school spends $11,278 per student, achieving strong results with a moderate budget, and reducing its chronic absenteeism rate from 23% to below 15% could be the most impactful step for moving from a 3-star to a consistent 4-star rating.
