School Finder

The data behind your search

Four counties. One source-linked school resource.

Compare 271 school guides, including 208 public and 63 private guides. The underlying directory retains 274 source records: duplicate source identities for the same school share one guide. 263 records have a recorded map point; virtual schools and unconfirmed campuses remain in the list.

What you can compare here

Use a school name, city, ZIP code or home address to explore the region. Filter public, private and documented Christian schools, recorded charter and magnet designations, school levels and available official grades. Read individual guides for local context and original sources; choose Calculate drive for a separate road-route estimate.

Sources, dates and important gaps

The compilation links 119 published Florida letter grades (2025-26) and 46 Alabama letter grades (2024-25). The two states use different formulas. Private-school types, approved waivers, unknown affiliations and unpublished results remain separate from academic grades. Okaloosa and Alabama guides may have different available detail from the original Escambia and Santa Rosa reports.

Federal directories can lag openings, closures, moves and renamed schools. School-published additions and campus corrections have their own source links and check dates. A compilation date is not a fresh verification of every campus. School websites and admissions resources help you confirm current details.

How records and distances are handled

NCES identities and state district/school identifiers link directory records to available results. Source records stay distinct when a school has more than one identity, while the guide registry preserves a single published guide URL where a duplicate was verified. Recorded campus and approximate Census address points support straight-line distance. Road estimates are requested separately and do not include live traffic. Neither distance nor a map marker establishes attendance eligibility.

Build a school plan alongside the property shortlist

1. Write down the student's learning priorities, support needs and ordinary weekday routine.
2. For each property, ask the district about the intended school year and address. Keep a charter or private-school application separate from an assigned-school answer.
3. Compare actual campus trips, care, activities and sibling schedules. Add tuition or parent-provided transport to the household budget when applicable.
4. Keep the school's response and any unanswered questions with the home comparison before making a school-dependent decision.

Start a focused comparison with Navarre mainland and beach housing or Gulf Breeze and Tiger Point. The civilian mortgage calculators help keep the housing side of the budget visible.

Six guides with a closer planning review

These examples span all four counties and several enrollment routes. They are starting points for questions, not a ranking or preferred-school list.

• Warrington Preparatory Academy: Escambia County; public charter.
• Creative Learning Academy: Escambia County; private, nonsectarian.
• Navarre High School: Santa Rosa County; public.
• Niceville Senior High School: Okaloosa County; public.
• Gulf Shores High School: Baldwin County; public, city school system.
• Bayshore Christian School: Baldwin County; private, christian.

The Gulf Shores high-school and middle-school campus records were corrected from the district's current registration page on September 10. The high school stays in the list without an unverified map point. Historical directory and accountability years remain unchanged.

Confirm enrollment with the right school system

Ask the district to check the specific address, school year and grade level. Baldwin County, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach have separate public-school registration resources. For a private school, contact its admissions office directly.

Downloads include identifiers, school types, locations, guide links, source years and source URLs. Missing values remain missing. The JSON includes field notes and a content version for checking updates. This is a compiled directory, not a new government rating or a live enrollment database.

Suggest a source-backed correction: include the school name, guide URL, field to correct and a current official source. The military edition uses the same records: School Finder with PCS planning resources.
