School Grades Good News For Most North Escambia Schools
July 12, 2014
Preliminary school grades were release Friday by the Florida Department of Education, and they were good news for most North Escambia Schools.
Most notably, Ernest Ward Middle School and Molino Park both jumped from “C” schools in 2013 to “A” schools for 2014, and charter school Byrneville Elementary improved from a “B” last year to an “A” in 2014. Ernest Ward would have been a “D” school in 2013 if it were not for a provision that limited grade drops to one letter.
“Thank you to everyone that made EWMS not only an ‘A’ school but a place where children learn, enjoy going to school, and a place parents want to send their children,” Ernest Ward Middle School Principal Nancy Perry said, as she offered thanks to everyone involved from the school from teachers to students.
Ernest Ward earned the second highest total points among middle schools in the county, while Byrneville Elementary was third among elementary schools.
“Students who believe they can be the best, teachers and staff who believe in their students, and parents and guardians who believe in us are what Byrneville is all about. I am very proud to be their principal,” Byrneville Elementary School Principal Dee Wolfe-Sullivan said.
Among other North Escambia schools in District 5, Ransom Middle and McArthur Elementary improved from a “C” to a “B” in 2014, while Pine Meadow and Jim Allen elementary schools earned conservative “B” grades. Bratt Elementary earned a “C” grade for the second year, and Lipscomb Elementary dropped from a “B” to a “C”.
High school grades will be released at a later date.

>>Where is Lincoln Park?
Lincoln Park was not assigned a grade by the state. It’s a primary school serving grades Pre-K to third, not Pre-K to fifth like an elementary school.
I’m not sure if/when the Florida Dept of Ed will release grade for Lincoln Park. But it appears it would not be a good grade — 21% were proficient in reading on the FCAT this year, 14% were proficient in math. And those numbers are lower than last year.
Where is Lincoln Park?
CONGRATS Molino Park!
Great teachers and great principle give the children an incentive to do their best.
Good Job Ransom Middle! We will be an A before we know it!!!we have great teachers and an amazing principal and assistant principal! We are on our way!
Congratulations Byrneville
Good Job Ernest Ward. Big progress! Stay Focus.
