Private Schools I would recommend Rocky Bayou Christian School in Niceville. They also have a campus in Destin.

As Paschal mentioned, Crestview has some very good Public schools.

My son attended Elliott Point Elementary in Ft Walton and while it is a very good school, some of the teachers and the Principal, who is no longer there, were the Liberal Commie types that you read and hear about and they and I clashed on several occasions during his 6 years there.

As mentioned before Florida has no State Income Tax. The Okaloosa County area consist of everything from Cotton Fields, River Bottoms and vast Timber lands to Beaches, Bays and Small City life. There is always some sort of festival or street party to attend. My only complaint is the lack of freshwater fishing nearby.

Good Luck in where ever you choose.

Hunt'em hard when they are hard to hunt but never, ever hardly hunt!
