Summary

Myrtle Grove Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pensacola, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with 407 students. The school is part of the Escambia District, which is ranked 52 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Myrtle Grove Elementary School faces several challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 35.9%, significantly higher than the Escambia district average of around 31.4%. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the Escambia district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were 37-49% and 33-42%, respectively, compared to the Escambia district's 53-58% and 52-60%, and the Florida state's 56-63%. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.89% to 82.56%, higher than the nearby schools.

When comparing Myrtle Grove Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Bellview Elementary School, it becomes evident that the school is performing significantly worse in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free and reduced lunch rates. This suggests that the school may need targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the unique challenges faced by its student population and improve academic achievement.

What people are saying

by a teacher
Tuesday, February 7, 2012

I am a first grade teacher who has been teaching here at Myrtle Grove Elementary for seven years now. I want all parents and grandparents to know how dedicated and well-trained the teachers and staff are here.I love the work environment and the administration; we are constantly being trained and briefed in the most up-to-date technology. All classes have document cameras, LCD projectors and SMartBoards. There are probably six computers in each classroom. We have a well-monitored Reading Club for all ages, and an amazing library and librarian. Visitors are always greeted with a warm smile and an abundance of friendly, cheerful teachers who are anxious to show-off their students many talents in the classroom. I am not only impressed by the school campus, students and teachers, but also by the parents. I think we have some of the warmest and nicest parents anywhere. Many of our student have parents and grandparents(even great-grandparents) who came to school here. THis year, I have an elderly grandparent who drives from across town on two days a week, just to volunteer in my class and at school. (She was once a student in my very classroom when she was in 3rd grade!)This is just one example of community involvement that helps to make our school so special and beloved. Close Quote
