Summary:

The Escambia County school district in Alabama serves approximately 4,072 students across 11 schools, including six elementary schools, two middle schools, and three high schools, and currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking 85th out of 139 districts statewide.

For parents, the standout school in the district is clearly Flomaton Elementary School, which consistently earns 3- and 4-star ratings and posts proficiency rates 20 to 40 percentage points above district averages in math and English. Its chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.8% is dramatically lower than the district's 26.0% average. PollardMcCall Junior High School shows the strongest improvement, jumping from the 52nd to 67th percentile over three years, with 4th grade math proficiency at 68.75%—more than double the district average. Flomaton High School leads the high schools with a 66th percentile ranking and an 89.2% graduation rate. On the other end, Escambia County High School ranks in the 11th percentile with just 4.35% of 11th graders proficient in math, and Escambia County Middle School ranks in the 19th percentile with 6th grade math proficiency at only 4.65%.

The district faces a serious chronic absenteeism crisis at 26.0%, more than double the state average, with the highest rates at Escambia County High (36.6%) and Escambia County Middle (31.6%). There is also a pronounced middle school drop-off—3rd grade math proficiency averages 37.33% but falls to 16.12% by 7th grade. Notably, spending does not predict success: Escambia County High School spends the most per student ($13,260) yet performs worst, while Flomaton Elementary spends the least ($9,375) and performs best. The W S Neal Elementary School cluster shows stable mid-tier performance, while A C Moore Primary School (PK-K) has no test data but a concerning 30.1% absenteeism rate that could predict future challenges.
