Maybe I spoke too soon. In looking at all the Escambia County FCAT scores, only nine middle and elementary schools improved their total points…two of those are charter schools. Warrington Middle School (458) scored better than Woodham Middle (456) and Bellview Middle (452).
The real turnaround in test scores was in Jim Paul’s last year (2008-2009). Malcolm Thomas’ administration is starting off poorly when it comes to FCAT. I can see why he protested the grading system. The good news is that he has two years to improve the scores before the 2012 elections.
The true “turnaround” schools appear to be Oakcrest Elementary (22 pt. increase) and Ensley Elementary (32 pt.). They should have been featured in the Friday article. Those teachers and principals are doing fantastic jobs.
