NAS Pensacola School Liaison
There is one installation School Liaison at Naval Air Station Pensacola. There are three public school districts for NAS Pensacola: one in Escambia County (where NASP sits), one in Santa Rosa County (Whiting Field) and Baldwin County (Alabama). Escambia school district in Florida offers unique options for students in PreK-12th grade. There are many private school options, too. Enrollment is based on the residence address of the family. School Choice is available for those schools that are not on the over-capacity list. Some areas in Escambia are experiencing a growth in residential communities and so neighborhood school sites might fill to grade level capacity. Please contact the School Liaison to inquire and get clarification on the school districts process/policy regarding the temporary overflowing of students or can visit the school district's website for further information.
Please contact the School Liaison to find out more about school districts, processes, and policies and choice options.
