July 27, 2015

Northview and West Florida high schools were ranked among the best in the nation in a report released by U.S. News and World Report. Both received a national bronze medal from the publication.

The U.S. News rankings include data on more than 21,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Schools were awarded based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college. The awards were based upon student-teacher ratios, college readiness, mathematics proficiencies and reading proficiencies.

In Florida, there were 31 high schools with gold medals, 105 with silver medals and 69 with bronze medals.

No other Escambia County high school was awarded a national medal by U.S. News. In Santa Rosa County, Milton High School and the Santa Rosa Virtual Franchise received bronze medals. In Escambia County, AL, both Flomaton and W.S. Neal High School received bronze medals.

    I have heard so many times that many high school students graduate, go off to College and cannot make it because there was just too big of a gap in the curriculum resulting in the students not being prepared enough to handle it.

    I am proud to say that our daughter went through the school system on the north end of Escambia County Florida (Bratt Elem. Earnest Ward Middle and Northview High Schools) and was very prepared through all her years of pre-K – 12th grade education to handle being accepted into Auburn University and graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. I’m here to testify, it wouldn’t have been possible without all the wonderful, dedicated and educated teachers giving these students their very best and making that possible for her and so many others.

    Congratulations Northview High School, you make us all very proud and to your sister schools who set the foundation for your success! Thank you
