Summary

Molino Park Elementary in Molino, FL, is a public school serving 550 students in grades PK through 5, and it stands out as a high-performing school within the Escambia district, which ranks in the bottom half of Florida districts.

The school serves a moderately affluent community, with 38.55% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.
