Summary

Cordova Park Elementary School in Pensacola, FL, serves 596 students in grades K-6 within the Escambia County School District, a school that has historically been a top performer in the area but recently experienced a notable dip in its state ranking. For a decade, Cordova Park consistently earned 4- and 5-star ratings, but its most recent data shows a drop to a 3-star rating, placing it in the 67th percentile of Florida elementary schools. This decline is a key point of interest, especially when compared to nearby N. B. Cook Elementary School, which has surged ahead to a 5-star rating with higher proficiency in nearly every subject and lower chronic absenteeism (8.6% vs. Cordova Park's 17.0%).

Despite this recent dip, Cordova Park continues to shine in several areas. It consistently outperforms its district peers in mathematics, with proficiency rates like 75% in 3rd grade and 71% in 4th grade, far exceeding the district average and most nearby schools like Ferry Pass Elementary and Reinhardt Holm Elementary. The school also boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.0%, which is roughly half the district average of 33.5%, indicating a positive school culture and engaged families. Additionally, Cordova Park is highly efficient, spending just $10,305 per student—the lowest among its peer group—while achieving stronger results than schools that spend significantly more, such as O. J. Semmes Elementary ($14,099 per student).

An interesting internal trend is a decline in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency as students progress, with 3rd graders scoring 73% proficient but 6th graders dropping to 56%—a 17-point decline that is more severe than the district or state averages. This suggests a need for enhanced literacy support in upper grades. When compared to a virtual charter school like Coastal Connections Academy (from the Santa Rosa District), which has a very low poverty rate but a 0-star rating, Cordova Park's strong in-person instruction and community environment clearly drive its success, even within a district ranked 51st out of 70 in Florida.

Extremely disappointed. My daughter struggle through kindergarten. I went to every teacher conference and did everything I could at home to help her study and reward good behavior. By the end of the year she was sitting in a desk alone in the back of the classroom. She was not helped at all by the teacher. Close Quote
