A ground-breaking ceremony was held Friday morning for the new Kingsfield Elementary School that will be at 900 West Kingsfield Road next to Ransom Middle School. The 135,000-square foot school will serve 800 students. Escambia County Superintendent of Schools Malcom Thomas said the school is being built to give relief to Pine Meadow and Beulah elementary. Much of the growth in West Escambia County is being spurred by Navy Federal. The school is being funded by Local Option Sales Tax dollars and is scheduled to open in the fall of 2018.
