Learn moreThe district-wide 'A' grade covers Pace
Santa Rosa County District Schools earned an overall 'A' grade for the 2025-26 school year, per this dataset's Navarre-coverage sourcing (AOL and WEAR TV) -- extending a run of A grades dating back to 2010. That district serves Pace alongside Gulf Breeze, Navarre, and Milton, with 12 of its schools earning individual A grades, 11 earning B grades, and 6 earning C grades for 2025-26, and none receiving a D or F.
Newer schools built alongside Pace's newer subdivisions
This dataset's own base record for Pace describes "new subdivisions, newer schools" as part of its defining character -- consistent with a fast-growing suburb where school-capacity investment has kept pace with new housing, a genuine structural advantage over a slower-growing, older-infrastructure town.
Confirm the specific zoned school for any address

Confirm the specific elementary, middle, and high school any address is zoned for directly with the Florida DOE's school-grades portal or Santa Rosa County District Schools.
