Pensacola Beach Elementary School Inc

Summary:

Pensacola Beach Elementary School Inc is a public charter elementary school serving 122 students in grades K-5 in the affluent coastal community of Pensacola Beach, Florida. This small school has consistently maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking among the top elementary schools in Escambia district and the state of Florida over the past decade.

Pensacola Beach Elementary School Inc stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students consistently outperforming their peers in the Escambia district and across Florida. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 94% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 53% in the Escambia district and 55% statewide. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 2.7% to 10% in recent years, in stark contrast to the 45.6% to 60.7% rates at nearby O.J. Semmes Elementary School, Cordova Park Elementary School, and other schools in the Escambia district.

The school's exceptional performance may be attributed to its small size, high per-student spending (ranging from $7,555 to $9,002 per student), and the unique socioeconomic profile of its student body, with only 2.29% to 2.46% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 43.01% to 92.7% at nearby schools. This raises questions about equity and access to high-performing schools for students from lower-income families in the Escambia district. Understanding the factors that contribute to Pensacola Beach Elementary School Inc's success could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across the region.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
