Summary:
The 32548 zip code area of Fort Walton Beach, Florida is home to 7 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 3 alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standout schools and others facing challenges.
The Max Bruner Junior Middle School stands out as a high-performing institution, with strong test scores in subjects like Algebra 1, Geometry, and Civics, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, the two elementary schools, Elliott Point Elementary School and Annette P. Edwins Elementary School, have lower test scores despite serving a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting a need for further investigation into instructional practices and resource allocation.
The alternative schools in the area, such as Okaloosa Academy and Northwest Florida Ballet Academie, are also noteworthy, with the former achieving a high 4-year graduation rate on par with the Fort Walton Beach High School. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate across all schools compared to the state average, which likely contributes to the varying academic performance observed.
