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.

Honestly, I would just enjoy the school more if they handled conflicts better. I've been being bullied for 3 years and I'm still having issues because it's being constantly blown off as just "regular drama". When researching, I found it's not and can actually be classified as a crime. I don't appreciate how they handle bullying.

My school is alright. It's not perfect, but it's not bad either. There are definitely areas where they could improve, but there's also a lot of good. The staff genuinely try their best to support the students and make learning engaging

The experience of Escambia High School has honestly been the best 3 years of my life so far, even though it doesn't have the best administration, not the best academics, or the best people. But that's what makes it very memorial. They basically expect me to do stuff on my own and i kinda like that, i don't like people pushing me around.

Very dangerous school for kids. Incompetent administration. School employee recently arrested for TRAFFICKING FENTANYL. Students don't feel safe at this school. Stay far away.

My daughter attended Escambia and had a wonderful experience. She was involved in sports, band, and advanced academic classes. The teachers were interested and engaged, the students were encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities, and the administration is/was second to none. No school...
