Summary

Byrneville Elementary School Inc. is a small, rural K-5 school in Century, FL, serving 193 students as part of the Escambia County School District.

The most significant challenge facing Byrneville is an extremely high rate of chronic absenteeism, which has consistently been well above both district and state averages for the past five years. In the 2023-2024 school year, 41.2% of students were chronically absent, a rate dramatically higher than nearby schools like Jay Elementary School (21.1%) and Chumuckla Elementary School (17.6%). This absenteeism is likely a primary barrier to sustained academic improvement, as students who are not in class cannot benefit from instruction. The school also spends significantly less per student ($8,205) compared to peers like Molino Park Elementary ($11,748) and Bratt Elementary School ($11,116).

Despite these challenges, Byrneville has a notable bright spot in 3rd-grade math, where 84% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—matching the high-performing Molino Park Elementary and exceeding Bratt (56%), Chumuckla (80%), and Jay (70%). This suggests a specific instructional strength at that grade level, though it is not replicated in 4th or 5th grade math. The school’s overall academic performance has been inconsistent, and it currently holds a 2-star rating. The broader district context also matters: Byrneville is in the lower-ranked Escambia district, while nearby schools like Jay and Chumuckla benefit from being in the higher-performing Santa Rosa district. For parents, the most critical takeaway is that while Byrneville shows pockets of potential, its progress is severely hampered by absenteeism, and a community-wide effort to improve daily attendance would be the most impactful intervention.
