Summary

Deane Bozeman School in Panama City, FL, is a large public alternative school serving 1,690 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade, and it stands out as a high-performing outlier in the Bay district.

This school consistently outperforms both district and state averages in a wide range of subjects, with a particularly strong math program in the upper grades—for example, 8th-grade math proficiency reached 83% compared to the state average of 61%. Its graduation rate is exceptional at 98.2%, far exceeding the district (93.8%) and state (92.2%) averages. While other alternative schools in the area, like Margaret K. Lewis In Millville, have chronic absenteeism rates as high as 53%, Deane Bozeman’s rate is 31%, closer to the state average. The school also achieves these strong results with a relatively modest budget of $9,050 per student, compared to $10,494 at Surfside Middle School and $42,176 at Margaret K. Lewis.

Interestingly, Deane Bozeman challenges the typical perception of alternative schools by performing more like a high-achieving traditional public school. Its academic experience is more balanced and consistent than that of Rising Leaders Academy, which shows dramatic weaknesses in some subjects. While lower elementary grades show some year-to-year variability in test scores, the overall trend is positive, and the school’s efficient use of resources makes it a standout choice for families seeking a strong, well-rounded education in the Panama City area.
