Escambia County Acceleration Academy

Summary:

Escambia County Acceleration Academy is a public high school located in Pensacola, Florida, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 107 students. The school is part of the Escambia School District, which is ranked 51 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Escambia County Acceleration Academy faces significant challenges, including extremely low four-year graduation rates of only 7.5% in 2022-2023 and 6.6% in 2021-2022, which are significantly lower than the district and state averages. The school also has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 92.1% in 2022-2023 and 99.6% in 2021-2022, much higher than the surrounding schools and the state average. Academically, the school's students perform poorly on standardized tests compared to the district and state, with only 25% proficient or better in Algebra 1 and Biology 1 in 2023-2024, compared to 45% and 65% in the district, respectively.

While the school has a relatively diverse student population, it also has a high percentage of students (69.16% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. These challenges are not shared by all schools in the district, as nearby high schools such as Pine Forest High School and West Florida High School/Technical perform significantly better in terms of graduation rates, academic performance, and chronic absenteeism. Addressing the issues at Escambia County Acceleration Academy will require a comprehensive approach that considers the school's unique student population and limited resources.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
