Escambia County’s middle schools showed little change in their grades. Brown Barge remained an ‘A’, Ransom a ‘B’. Bellview dropped from a ‘B’ to a ‘C’. Woodham earned 36 more points but remained a ‘D.” Ferry Pass has an Incomplete.
In 2014, the school district hired Turnaround Solutions Inc. to improve Warrington Middle. It hasn’t worked.
Of the 558 middle schools in Florida that received grades, Warrington is ranked #542, Woodham #538, Bellview #534 and Workman #518.
Remember Warrington was the middle school that was Superintendent Malcolm Thomas’ turnaround school in 2009. Workman was to be his middle school version of Pensacola High’s IB program.
If you live in the city of Pensacola and can’t get your child into Brown Barge, you are looking for a private school that has a middle school.
