The Florida Department of Education announced the winners of the Five Star School Award for the 2017-2018 school year. The award is bestowed upon schools that are committed to incorporating family and community members into the school environment to enhance student learning.
In Escambia County, Five Star Schools Award winners were:
- A.K. Suter Elementary School

“It is an honor to recognize these schools with the Five Star School Award,” said Commissioner of Education Pam Stewart. “As a former teacher and principal, I have seen firsthand the positive impact family and community involvement can have on the lives of students. When school leaders and educators engage the community, the result is higher academic achievement and more students prepared for future success.”
To earn Five Star School recognition, a school must show that it has achieved all of the benchmarks and criteria in five categories – Community/Business Partnerships, Family Involvement, Volunteerism, Student Community Service and School Advisory Council. Schools must also earn a grade of “C” or above or a school improvement rating of “Maintaining” or “Commendable” for the year being recognized.

Congratulations, Jim Allen Elementary! Outstanding work!
Congratulations to all the winners. Education and excellent Educators is most important in the lives of our young students. It prepares them for their future achievements.
Pine Meadow what happened to you? My grandchildren attended there and was a great school years ago. Students deserve above a “C” rated school. Some schools that you think are great hasn’t turned out so well according to this latest study.
Great job Molino Park Elementary! Congratulations on the 5 star award.
It’s great to see A.K. Suter maintain it’s stellar reputation and exceptional academic standards for decades on end. Both of my chldren, ages 30 and 26, went to Suter K-5th grades and today, they are thriving adults. Their elementary school years were some of the happiest we knew, mainly because of something ethereal called “the Suter family.” They felt close and connected to their peers, classmates and teachers. What sweet memories of a time long ago! Keep up the great work Suter Family and congrats to all the other hardworkers who rose to the top!
Great job Molino Park! Congratulations we are so proud to be part of the school.
Great Job, as usual, Lipscomb Elementary!
