Summary

PollardMcCall Junior High School is a small, PK-8 school in Brewton, AL, serving about 200 students within the Escambia County school district. Despite its district's overall 2-star rating, this school consistently earns 3 stars and ranks in the 67th percentile statewide—a strong sign of resilience and effectiveness.

One of the most impressive things about PollardMcCall is how well it supports students from low-income backgrounds. In the most recent school year, the school ranked in the 74th percentile statewide for this group, a dramatic jump from the 46th percentile just two years prior. This tells parents that the school is finding ways to help its most vulnerable students succeed. The school also has a much healthier attendance record than its district peers—its chronic absenteeism rate is 14.2%, compared to 26% across Escambia County. When compared to nearby schools, PollardMcCall outperforms W S Neal Elementary School in nearly every subject and grade level, and its 4th-grade math proficiency (68.75%) is more than double that of Flomaton Elementary School (33.33%). While Brewton Elementary School in the Brewton City district edges it out in early-grade scores, PollardMcCall's ability to achieve strong results within a lower-performing district is notable.

The school's biggest challenge is a sharp decline in math proficiency in the upper grades. While elementary math scores are strong (68.75% in 4th grade), 7th-grade math proficiency dropped to 0% and 8th-grade to just 16%—a stark contrast to its steady ELA scores in the 60-68% range through 8th grade. This "middle school math cliff" is an area that clearly needs attention. However, the school is on an upward trajectory overall, improving from the 52nd to the 67th percentile in just two years. For parents, this is a school that excels in early education and equity, but one to watch closely as students approach junior high math.
