Summary

Escambia Virtual Academy Franchise is an alternative public virtual school serving grades K-12 in Pensacola, Florida, with 153 students. Despite being part of the Escambia school district, which is ranked 52 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating, the virtual school has consistently high graduation rates, ranging from 84.2% to 100% over the past few years, significantly outperforming the district and state averages.

While the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 35.9% in recent years, it outperforms the district and state on most standardized tests, particularly in subjects like Biology, US History, Civics, and English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 87% proficiency in Biology 1, compared to 66% for the district and 71% for the state. Additionally, the school has relatively low free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 13.07% to 28.93% over the past few years, lower than the district average.

Interestingly, Achieve Academy At McMillian and Escambia Westgate Center, two nearby alternative schools, have much lower test scores and graduation rates compared to Escambia Virtual Academy Franchise, suggesting the virtual school may be an outlier within the struggling Escambia district.
