Kingsfield Elementary School

Kingsfield Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cantonment, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 931 students. The school is part of the Escambia District, which is ranked 52 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Kingsfield Elementary has seen a steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from 691st in 2020-2021 to 333rd in 2024-2025, and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years.

Kingsfield Elementary consistently outperforms the Escambia District and the state of Florida in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Kingsfield had 75% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53% in the Escambia District and 57% statewide. In 5th grade Math, Kingsfield had 74% proficiency, while the Escambia District and Florida had 52% and 57%, respectively. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average, ranging from 21% to 35.9% over the past few years, which is an area of concern that the school should address.

Kingsfield Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.97% to 43.39% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students at the school. Despite this, Kingsfield Elementary outperforms many of the nearby schools in the Escambia District, such as Bellview Elementary, Longleaf Elementary, and Ensley Elementary, particularly in academic proficiency. This may be due to the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, ranging from $8,732 to $9,632 over the past few years, which suggests that adequate funding and resources can positively impact student outcomes.
