Summary

Walker Elementary School is a public elementary school in Crestview, Florida, serving 848 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Okaloosa School District, which is ranked 12th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Walker Elementary consistently outperforms the Okaloosa district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, 71% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 61% for Okaloosa and 55% for Florida. Similarly, 65% of 3rd-graders were proficient in English Language Arts, higher than the 59% for Okaloosa and 57% for the state. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.5% to 31.4% in recent years, which is an area of concern.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Addie R. Lewis School, James E Plew Elementary School, and Lula J. Edge Elementary School, Walker Elementary's academic performance, particularly in science and math, is strong. However, the school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 52.95% to 61.23% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.
