A closer look at Oakcrest Elementary School.
Oakcrest Elementary identifies separate contacts for curriculum coordination, school counseling and student records on its homepage. Families can also find its school improvement plan and School Advisory Council information there.
The 2025–26 Florida DOE report classifies Oakcrest Elementary School in the elementary category, as a district public school in Escambia County. Its accountability grade is C; it earned 53% of possible accountability points. The published grade sequence is C in 2023–24, C in 2024–25, and C in 2025–26.
Schoolwide expectations are spelled out beyond the classroom
Our interpretation of published school information, not a campus inspection or an additional official rating.
Oakcrest's PBIS page makes its expectations concrete by describing routines for transitions, the playground and riding the bus. It also shows examples of recognition through PRIDE tickets and time with the principal. For a family, this is a useful window into how the school explains shared routines across different settings. A new child encounters many adults during the day; consistent explanations can be an important subject to explore during an introduction.
The more revealing question is what happens when a student needs additional teaching or support to meet an expectation. Oakcrest separately identifies curriculum, counseling and records contacts, which gives families a starting point for both academic and adjustment questions. Ask how a concern moves from the classroom to those staff members and back to the parent. The published routines help frame that conversation without establishing how every individual situation is handled.
Why it may fit
Worth exploring for a child who benefits from concrete explanations of routines and a family that wants to understand how expectations carry across classrooms and common spaces.
What to weigh
Recognition systems are only one part of support. Discuss how staff respond when a child understands a rule but still needs help with attention, transitions or frustration.
The school lists its campus on North Hollywood Boulevard. Review the current arrival and bus arrangements with the office alongside classroom placement.
Choose a transition your child finds difficult and ask staff to demonstrate the instruction, practice and family communication they would use, beyond awarding or withholding a ticket.

Its 53% overall points result is 5 percentage points below the 58% median among 33 other elementary schools in Escambia County with reported data.
What the results suggest.
A consistent state classification
Three consecutive C grades give you a consistent accountability classification across the published years. That is useful context, but it does not show whether every subject, classroom or student made the same progress.
A result worth noticing
Science is 62%, compared with a 61% median for 33 other local schools in the same state category. That 1-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 29%, 33 percentage points below its 62% 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.
Calculated from the dated state results below. Peer gaps compare each subject with the same subject at other schools, not one subject with another. Measures can cover different student groups. They do not establish why a result occurred or the quality of a particular teacher.
| Measure | This school | Peer median | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall accountability points | 53% | 58% (33 schools) | −5 pp |
| English language arts achievement | 29% | 62% (33 schools) | −33 pp |
| Mathematics achievement | 59% | 63% (33 schools) | −4 pp |
| Science achievement | 62% | 61% (33 schools) | +1 pp |

Calculated from the linked Florida DOE release. The peer median is the middle school-level result, excludes this school, uses the same county and DOE school category, and ignores missing values. It is not weighted by enrollment. “pp” means percentage points. Graduation and acceleration measures use the cohorts specified by the state. Different measures describe different groups of students.
Use the results to identify questions, not to predict your child's experience. Programs, support, admissions and a campus visit can change which option fits your priorities. Read the state methodology ↗

Global Learning Academy reports 39% in english language arts achievement, compared with 29% here. If this is a priority, ask how its instruction and support would serve your child. Worth examining for families interested in regular science experiences during the elementary years. Ask how students who are still developing foundational reading or mathematics skills participate in and learn from the hands-on work.
District school: confirm zoning, transfers and availability.Campus-to-campus distances are straight-line estimates, not driving routes or distances from your home. Use the address search on the school map for a comparison from your own location. An alternative may be a better fit when its verified program, support or learning format aligns with your child's needs; a higher score in one measure does not settle that decision.
Enrollment and a useful school visit.
Confirm address assignment through the district and ask Oakcrest's records staff about required enrollment documents. Arrange course or learning-support questions with the curriculum coordinator or counselor. Enrollment resource ↗
