Escambia


Summary:

The Escambia school district in Florida encompasses 68 schools, including 37 elementary schools, 10 middle schools, 15 high schools, and 6 alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic outcomes, from high-performing standouts like West Florida High School/Technical to struggling schools like Success Academy.

Several schools in the Escambia district stand out for their exceptional academic performance and student outcomes. N.B. Cook Elementary and Pensacola Beach Elementary School rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with high proficiency rates and low chronic absenteeism. At the middle school level, Brown Barge Middle School is a high-performing outlier, with outstanding test scores across subject areas.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic achievement and student outcomes across the district. There is a stark contrast between the highest and lowest-performing schools, with proficiency rates ranging from as low as 6% to as high as 94% on state assessments. The schools with the highest percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students tend to have the poorest academic results and highest rates of chronic absenteeism, suggesting a correlation between demographics and educational outcomes. While the district has a few exceptional performers, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and equitable resource allocation to address these persistent achievement gaps.
