However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools struggling to meet proficiency standards. Schools with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Escambia County High School and Escambia County Middle School, tend to have the lowest test scores, highlighting the challenges that high-poverty schools face. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that with the right strategies and support, even the lower-performing schools in the district have the potential to improve and provide a high-quality education for all students.
