Shalimar Elementary School

I’ve been disappointed with how Eglin Elementary administration handles parent concerns. One particular kindergarten teacher uses exclusion and embarrassment as a form of punishment, which is deeply concerning. When I brought this to the administration’s attention, I received a generic one-sentence email stating the issue would be “addressed with staff.” There was no meaningful follow-up or accountability, leaving me with little confidence that the issue was taken seriously.

I have been overly happy with Elliott Point versus a prior private school in the county that my son went to. The faculty actually cares for students and hopes they succeed.

Military family. My daughter attended K-2 here and has missed it dearly since we moved. She still talks about the friendships she had, the teachers she loved and the education. She was noticeably ahead of the students in her new school who also came from different parts of the US. My wife and I had the choice of sending our daughter to a private school while in FL and have zero regrets from choosing Kenwood elementary instead. From our experience, the teachers obviously cared and still stay in touch through social media to check on our daughter. The community around Kenwood is also top notch and we always felt safe there. We plan on returning once out of the military.

My child loves it here and I do too! Everyone at this school is so warm and friendly! I feel like they treat every child special, just melts my heart.A quick story...one day I dropped my son off and it was not the best morning (wasn’t listening and had a bad attitude) and the Resource Officer has seen my child always in the morning smiling and so she got down and just chatted and hugged my son. I was driving away smiling! What an awesome thing to notice he was having a bad day and helped him get out of his funk. It made me want to cry because it was such a small thing but made such a huge impact!

Pleasant environment , with caring teachers and an awesome director.
