Summary

Elliott Point Elementary School in Fort Walton Beach, FL, serves 583 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the high-performing Okaloosa School District, though the school itself has faced significant challenges in recent years. The most critical issue is a very high rate of chronic absenteeism, with 32.3% of students missing too many school days in the 2023-2024 school year. This rate is nearly double that of nearby Florosa Elementary School (17.2%) and more than four times the rate at Liza Jackson Preparatory School (8.0%). This absenteeism problem is strongly linked to the school's academic performance, which consistently falls below the district average in subjects like math and science, even though the district itself ranks among the top in the state.

Elliott Point serves a predominantly low-income population, with nearly 75% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending more per student ($11,650) than many other schools in the area, the academic outcomes have not matched that investment. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 61% of Elliott Point students were proficient, compared to 71% across the district. This pattern repeats in other grades and subjects, highlighting a gap that is not simply about funding. The school shares these struggles with other nearby schools like Wright Elementary and Annette P. Edwins Elementary, which also have high poverty rates and high absenteeism, creating a cluster of schools in the Fort Walton Beach area facing concentrated challenges.

There was a brief "bright spot" in the 2023-2024 school year when Elliott Point's 5th graders outperformed the district in English Language Arts, but that success did not continue the following year, suggesting it was an anomaly rather than a sustainable trend. For parents considering this school, the data clearly points to chronic absenteeism as the single biggest barrier to student success. Addressing why so many students are missing school—whether due to health, transportation, or family stability issues—would likely have the greatest impact on improving learning. While the school has resources and dedicated staff, getting students in the classroom consistently is the essential first step toward better outcomes.
