This school operates with very antiquated philosophies regarding education, social interaction and discipline. The administration hides its head in the sand and allows the students to run amuck. There is a band, but no choir. There is no drama or speech program. There are athletics. It was once a very good school with a lot to offer, but now it's just a place where kids go to fight, argue and goof off. It's sad, but I wouldn't bring my children to school there and I'm an alumnus.
This is a good school with exception leadership, and it will continue to produce many well-adjusted citizens.
As a new alumna of ECHS, I have mixed feelings about my alma mater. I have been a student here during four years of turmoil and change, but I must say that I feel that ECHS is finally on the right path. While ECHS does not offer AP courses, it does offer a phenomenal Dual Enrollment program for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The band, which ranked superior at the 2005 State Competition, is finally under a stable band director with a vision. The only thing that I can truly criticize is the lack of parental and community support. Our community is slow to praise and quick to judge, and until the school has its full support, I think ECHS's growth will continue to be hindered.
Escambia County High School has allowed the oppurtunities of the future for several students. This year, Kyle Ferguson, a great principal has taken charge of the school. He is a great leader over this school and many parents and teachers/staff respect him a great deal. Many parents and officials are more attracted to the school since the several 'clean-ups' of campus and buildings being re-modeled. This year we have new teachers and coordinated study classes that allow after school and in-school help for graduation exams and other core subjects. Over-all, Escambia County High School has the potential to allow your kids future to become a perfect success.
