Schools
Elementary (grades 1-5):
Longwood
Although Northridge Creek is in the
Kenwood district, children are bussed to Longwood (in Shalimar) to mitigate
a child shortage there. Longwood is an open school, meaning classrooms are separated
by dividers, rather than solid walls, and may not be appropriate for all children.
Waivers must be obtained for children to attend Kenwood and no bus service is provided.
Contact the school district for additional
information.
Middle School (grades 6-8):
Pryor
High School (grades 9-12): Choctawhatchee
