Summary:
In zip code 32136, Flagler Beach, Florida, there is one elementary school, Old Kings Elementary School, serving grades PK through 5 with a large enrollment of 1,019 students.
Old Kings Elementary School is a standout institution, consistently ranking in the top 20% of all elementary schools in Florida over the last three years (79th to 84th percentile) and earning a 4-star rating. It is part of the highly-rated Flagler School District, which ranks 14th out of 70 districts in the state. The school excels academically, outperforming both district and state averages in nearly every subject and grade level tested. For example, in the 2025-2026 school year, 3rd graders achieved 86% proficiency in English Language Arts and 89% in Math, significantly exceeding state averages. The school benefits from favorable conditions, including a low poverty rate (34.45% free/reduced lunch), a solid student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1, and per-student spending of $11,180.
Despite its strong academic performance, there are notable areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism is high at 28.3%, meaning over a quarter of students miss 10% or more of the school year, though this is slightly better than district and state averages. Additionally, the school shows a "3rd grade peak" pattern, with performance declining in 4th and 5th grades, and its state ranking has slipped slightly from the 84th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 79th percentile in 2025-2026. Overall, Old Kings Elementary School offers a high-quality education with strong resources, but parents should be aware of the absenteeism issue and the slight performance dip in upper elementary grades.
