A school plan for your PCS

Moving with a student: Davidson Middle School

Considering Davidson Middle School in Crestview during a military move? Pair the school's academic information with a plan for admission, records and the first week.

Confirm enrollment in Okaloosa County

The Okaloosa registration and school locator distinguish address-based assignment from controlled open enrollment. Check which applies here, including any program application. Bring your projected arrival date to the registrar rather than assuming an available map result means an available seat. Ask the liaison whether your transfer qualifies for Interstate Compact provisions and how to resolve a records or placement issue.

Carry the learning history forward

Request a portable copy of report cards, transcripts, current coursework and relevant learning plans before you leave. If your child has an IEP, 504 plan or other support arrangement, arrange a handoff with the receiving staff and ask what support will be available at the start. Use the Military OneSource school-transition guide to prepare for that conversation.

Match the handoff to the student

Ask Davidson Middle School to review the student's current math sequence, electives and any high-school-credit coursework before the first day. Find out how a new student learns the schedule, meets teachers and joins activities after the year has started. A short counselor conversation can clarify whether the proposed timetable continues the work already underway at the previous school.

Connect school, home and duty station

The Okaloosa military-family resources identify Eglin's liaison for Eglin, Duke Field and 7th Special Forces Group families. Hurlburt has its own liaison; use the contact matching your assignment. Local contacts: Eglin School Liaison Office and Hurlburt Field School Liaison. Ask about youth introductions, deployment-related support and coordination with school staff. Availability of a particular service at Davidson Middle School should be confirmed directly.

Check the school-day route to your actual duty gate, dismissal time and backup pickup plan. The map estimates travel; it does not establish a bus route, attendance boundary or guaranteed commute.

Installation and enrollment resources checked . Confirm current requirements with the receiving school.

A local planning perspective

How to approach Davidson Middle School.

Our interpretation of the dated directory and available official results. This is not a campus inspection or an additional school rating.

For someone planning a move around Davidson Middle School, the first useful distinction is its actual format: public school, listed in Crestview, FL, with directory grades 06–08. The 2024-25 federal directory classifies its school type as regular school. That gives you a starting point for the home search, but it does not establish which addresses qualify for enrollment.

The A accountability result belongs alongside the component breakdown below. Read the subjects separately, then ask the school which support and enrichment options a student in your intended entry grade would actually use. A school-wide figure cannot describe a particular classroom.

Why it may fit

It is worth a closer look if the verified entry grades, enrollment eligibility and day-to-day routine at Davidson Middle School match your child's needs. Use a visit to test that fit against the published data.

What to weigh

A location or letter grade does not tell you the availability of a particular course, classroom support or an extracurricular place. Ask for the current schedule and a concrete example of how the school would support your student.

A useful local detail

Shoal River Middle School is approximately 4.2 straight-line miles from the recorded Davidson Middle School campus. That is useful for arranging comparison visits, but the drive can differ. Enter your home address on the map and compare the actual road route separately from the radius.

One question worth asking

What would the first month look like for a student entering my child's grade, and who would help us adjust if the initial plan is not working?

Academic information in context

What the data can tell you.

The official Florida DOE record reports A for 2025–26. 69% of available accountability points were reported. Grade history: B (2023–24), A (2024–25), A (2025–26).

Look beyond the latest letter

The sequence B → A → A is a reason to ask what changed between the three reporting years. A letter-grade change is not itself a measure of an individual child's learning growth. Ask the school to explain the underlying achievement and learning-gains results before attributing the change to a particular program.

A result worth noticing

Social studies is 91%, compared with a 86.5% median for 6 other local schools in the same state category. That 4.5-point difference is the largest positive peer gap among the subject measures available here. Ask which learning opportunities sit behind it and how a new student would access them.

Where to look closer

The English language arts result is 68%, 0.5 percentage points below its 68.5% local peer median. This is a specific area to discuss, rather than a verdict on the whole school. Ask how teachers identify a student who needs help, what support looks like during the week, and how progress is shared with families.

2025–26 Florida DOE components; graduation and acceleration use 2024–25 cohorts

Peer medians exclude this school, use the same county and state school category, ignore missing values and are not weighted by enrollment. A difference identifies a question, not its cause or an individual child's likely outcome.

From research to a useful visit

Admissions, support and the daily routine.

Confirm address assignment, transfer or program eligibility with the school or responsible district for the intended school year. A city name, ZIP code and nearby map pin are not attendance boundaries.

  • Which grade and campus would my child attend, and what is the current daily schedule?
  • How are new students assessed, supported and challenged during the first term?
  • What are the transportation, extended-day and extracurricular arrangements, including any extra costs?
  • What records, deadlines and acceptance steps should be completed before a move?

Okaloosa's controlled open enrollment guidance asks families to use the correct school year in the locator. It also makes parents responsible for transportation after a choice transfer. Check the district guidance ↗
