GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Escambia County High School was a very productive four years, I was able to secure an identity for myself in addition to gaining insight on how to prepare for the future. While attending I was influenced by my peers and instructor on where to pursue a career in Mechanical Engineering. Because of them I was also able to be accepted to many other colleges in addition to being awarded a plethora of scholarships to start my pursuit of higher education.

Its not fair to the rest of the team who practices just as hard and just as often, to sit on the sidelin...

Although there are some bad points with this school, I would like to say that there are some good points. I am an alumni and I have children who now attends.
