Summary

Kingsfield Elementary School in Cantonment, FL, serves 983 students in grades PK-5 and is part of the Escambia School District, consistently performing well above district and state averages despite the district's overall lower ranking. This school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in early math, with 85% of 3rd graders proficient in math—a 20+ point advantage over the district average and a clear differentiator from nearby schools like Longleaf Elementary School (71%) and Ensley Elementary School (34%). Kingsfield also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 21%, the lowest among its immediate peers, compared to Bellview Elementary School (40%) and Jackie Harris Preparatory Academy (41.1%), indicating a stable and engaged student body.

Interestingly, Kingsfield achieves these results with remarkable efficiency, spending just $8,893 per student—the lowest among nearby schools—while earning a state ranking in the 70th percentile. In contrast, Lincoln Park Elementary School spends $14,647 per student but ranks in the bottom 22% of the state. However, Kingsfield faces a "5th grade slump," with proficiency dropping from 85% to 60% in math and from 71% to 58% in ELA between 3rd and 5th grade. This pattern is more pronounced than at Pine Meadow Elementary School, the area's academic leader (83rd percentile), which maintains high scores across all grades, including 86% in 5th-grade math versus Kingsfield's 60%.

Kingsfield also serves a relatively more affluent population, with only 43% of students receiving free/reduced lunch, compared to 69.6% at Bellview and 77.8% at Jackie Harris Prep. This economic advantage likely contributes to its higher performance, but it also highlights a contrast with nearby Jim Allen Elementary School, just 3.17 miles away, which has a 52.9% free/reduced lunch rate and ranks in the 54th percentile. Overall, Kingsfield is a strong, efficient school with standout early math success, though it can look to Pine Meadow as a model for sustaining achievement in upper grades.
