The motto for Pensacola Beach Elementary School is “Chartered for Success.” As one of the areas’s most acclaimed charter schools, the motto implies much more than the community’s penchant for chartered sea vessels. As a two-time winner of the National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence Award and recipient of the state of Florida designations as both a “High Performing School” and “School of Excellence,” PBES stands out even among the area’s other superior educational institutions.
Situated on Via de Luna midway between Fort Pickens Road and the Gulf Islands National Seashore, Pensacola Beach Elementary School serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Their award-winning academic foundation is complemented by robust programs in art and music. Academically talented students can take advantage of the PATS program for weekly off-site learning opportunities. A smaller than average student-teacher ratio of 13 to 1 provides students with a direct and focused educational environment while still providing amenities such as a computer lab and media center.
Pensacola Beach Elementary believes “an effective program must be established to teach the whole child.” This is demonstrated through the addition of a Student Success Coach to the staff. Teachers and administrators may refer students to the “Coach” for various counseling and well-being services. Boasting exceptional academic achievement, with 98% of students scoring at or above math proficiency, and 92% at or above reading proficiency, Pensacola Beach Elementary School is living out its mission.

Great school where students get individual attention from Teachers, faculty, and volunteers. Great every morning when the Principal is greeting and opening the door for you and doing the same in the afternoon. My grandson is having the best academic years he has ever had. A Grandmother

Aside from the excellent teaching of core curriculum, what sets this school apart are the cheerful caring teachers that find ways to help each child achieve their greatest potential. We were apprehensive at first, moving here from a great school district out-of-state, but we could not be more please...

One grade, one class, but the biggest sandbox in the country. The way education should be.
