Summary

Achieve Academy At McMillian is an alternative public school serving 271 students in grades K-12 in Pensacola, Florida, which is part of the Escambia school district. The school faces significant challenges, with low graduation rates, extremely high chronic absenteeism, and very poor academic performance across all subjects and grade levels compared to state and district averages.

Despite spending between $11,469 and $18,612 per student, which is higher than the district average, Achieve Academy At McMillian's test scores are in the single digits for proficiency, far below the 50-70% proficiency rates seen in the district and state. The school serves a highly disadvantaged student population, with 77.25% to 90.77% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve performance at this school.

Interestingly, the other alternative schools in the Escambia district, such as Escambia Westgate Center and Hospital & Homebound, have similar low performance metrics to Achieve Academy At McMillian. However, the virtual schools in the district, Escambia Virtual Instruction Program and Escambia Virtual Academy Franchise, have significantly higher test scores and graduation rates. Addressing the root causes of the school's very high chronic absenteeism rates could be a key focus for improvement.

Three students returned to our school after a sojourn at Camelot Academy. All have proven to be excellent students who are making a contribution to our student body. One, focused on earning all As, graduated this summer. Another will be graduating next year. And finally, a freshman came to us from Camelot and made Student of the Month! Very positive reflection of Camelot Academy. Close Quote

Camelot is an alternate school for students that have some behavior problems or get in trouble at school. The program is made to help kids with those kinds of problems and it does a very good job of that. It doesn't have football,cheerleading, home ec or PE, but it does the same academics as the regular schools. It is real strict and a safe enviroment and it zeros in on the issues that get kids in trouble. It helps them do better when they go back to their own schools. Close Quote
