Pensacola public schools: every school, zone and report card

Last checked Oct. 11, 2026. Sources: Escambia County Public Schools, its Find Your School lookup and school directories, the Florida Department of Education’s 2026 school grades, the federal NCES school directory and Private School Universe Survey, the Escambia County Property Appraiser’s parcel map and the Census Bureau’s geocoder.

Public schools in Pensacola are run by Escambia County Public Schools, the countywide district governed by the elected Escambia County School Board, not by the city. Zones do not follow city limits: a Pensacola address can be zoned for a school outside the city, and several schools with Pensacola mailing addresses are outside it. To see the zoned elementary, middle and high school for any address, type the street address and ZIP code into the district’s Find Your School lookup. The district’s main line is 850-432-6121; Enrollment Services is 850-469-5580.

How we checked the zones. The Escambia County Property Appraiser lists 22,294 homes (single-family, condo, mobile home and small multifamily parcels) inside the city limits. We grouped them into 347 blocks about a quarter-mile across, ran one address from each block through the district’s lookup on Oct. 11, 2026, and weighted each answer by the number of homes in its block. The “share of city homes” column comes from that check; it is an estimate, and the lookup is the final word for any single address.

High schools

Middle schools

The other 9% of city homes are zoned for Warrington Preparatory Academy, a charter school listed below.

Elementary schools

About 2% of city homes, in blocks on the western edge of the city, are zoned for elementary schools outside the city: West Pensacola (graded C in 2026), C.A. Weis (C), Warrington (C) and Brentwood (C), according to the lookup and the state’s grades file. All seven elementary schools in the tables are inside the city limits, as are Workman Middle, Pensacola High and Washington High; Ferry Pass Middle, Brown Barge Middle and West Florida High are outside, according to the Census Bureau’s geocoder.

Charter schools

Escambia County’s public charter schools are free and open to any county student; each sets its own admission process, and the district lists them in its alternative schools directory. None is inside the Pensacola city limits.

Enrollment and grades are from the NCES directory and the state’s 2026 school grades file; Capstone Academy and Jacqueline Harris Preparatory Academy do not appear in the grades file.

Enrollment by school

The chart shows the federal October count for the 2024-25 school year at each school with its own page on this site. The state’s report card for each school, linked in the tables above, carries its current enrollment.

How Florida grades schools

Florida grades every public school A to F each year on the share of possible points it earns from test results, learning gains and, for high schools, graduation and college and career courses. In the 2026 grades the A line was 62% of points for elementary schools, 64% for middle schools and 65% for high schools, the state’s file says. Each school page above has its full breakdown.
