High Schools in Escambia

Summary:

The Escambia school district in Florida is home to 15 high schools that vary in size, performance, and student demographics. While the district's overall 4-year graduation rate of 89.7% exceeds the state average, there are stark differences in academic achievement across the schools.

The top-performing high schools in the district are West Florida High School/Technical, a public magnet school that ranks 126th out of 844 Florida high schools, and Pensacola State Charter Academy, a public charter school that ranks 53rd in the state. These schools excel academically, with high proficiency rates on state assessments. In contrast, some schools, such as Success Academy and Escambia County Acceleration Academy, struggle with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

The data also reveals a wide range in student socioeconomic status, with free and reduced-price lunch rates varying from 3.95% at Pensacola State Charter Academy to 98.04% at Pace Program. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the academic success of certain schools in the Escambia district.
