A closer look at Beulah Academy Of Science.
Beulah Academy of Science is a public charter middle school serving grades six through eight on Beulah Road. Its website provides a separate student application and lottery procedures for families considering admission.
The 2025–26 Florida DOE report classifies Beulah Academy Of Science in the middle category, as a public charter school in Escambia County. Its accountability grade is A; it earned 79% of possible accountability points. The published grade sequence is B in 2023–24, A in 2024–25, and A in 2025–26.
A science-named charter with a broader elective menu
Our interpretation of published school information, not a campus inspection or an additional official rating.
The school's name can give an incomplete first impression. Beulah Academy of Science lists culinary arts, art, agricultural science with FFA, and band and orchestra among its electives. Our reading is that families should examine the balance of academic, practical and creative experiences rather than assume every part of the school day follows a narrowly technical program.
Its public charter structure also changes the planning conversation. The school publishes applications, lottery information and grade-level capacity, so interest in a particular program needs to be considered alongside admission timing. Published capacity is useful for understanding enrollment limits; it is not the same thing as current vacancies or classroom size. The most revealing discussion would connect an actual student's schedule with the courses available at each middle school grade.
Why it may fit
Worth exploring for a middle school student who wants to combine science interests with music, agriculture, art or practical coursework. Ask how students sample electives before choosing a longer sequence.
What to weigh
Admission and course access are separate questions. A place at the school does not establish access to every elective, and the public description does not show how often each offering runs or how scheduling conflicts are resolved.
The academy is on Beulah Road and serves the middle school years. It is a different school from Beulah Middle on West Nine Mile Road and Beulah Elementary on Helms Road.
Request a current sample schedule for each grade, then ask how the lottery, waitlist and elective selection work together for a student entering after the initial application window.

What makes this school distinctive.
Charter application process
The academy publishes its 2026–27 application and lottery rules; a nearby home address does not replace the application process.
School source ↗Grade-by-grade planning
The school publishes a capacity of 110 students in each of grades six, seven and eight. This is a planning capacity, not a statement that seats are currently available.
School source ↗How the official results compare.
Its 79% overall points result is 16 percentage points above the 63% median among 9 other middle schools in Escambia County with reported data.
What the results suggest.
Look beyond the latest letter
The sequence B → A → A is a reason to ask what changed between the three reporting years. A letter-grade change is not itself a measure of an individual child's learning growth. Ask the school to explain the underlying achievement and learning-gains results before attributing the change to a particular program.
A result worth noticing
Mathematics is 84%, compared with a 56% median for 9 other local schools in the same state category. That 28-point difference is the largest positive peer gap among the subject measures available here. Ask which learning opportunities sit behind it and how a new student would access them.
The next question after the scores
None of the 4 subject measures with enough local comparison data falls below its own peer median. The next question is how the school supports both students who need more time and students ready for additional challenge. These school-level percentages do not measure class size, belonging or your child's likely outcome.
Calculated from the dated state results below. Peer gaps compare each subject with the same subject at other schools, not one subject with another. Measures can cover different student groups. They do not establish why a result occurred or the quality of a particular teacher.
| Measure | This school | Peer median | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall accountability points | 79% | 63% (9 schools) | +16 pp |
| English language arts achievement | 76% | 53% (9 schools) | +23 pp |
| Mathematics achievement | 84% | 56% (9 schools) | +28 pp |
| Science achievement | 79% | 54% (9 schools) | +25 pp |
| Social studies achievement | 97% | 71% (9 schools) | +26 pp |

Calculated from the linked Florida DOE release. The peer median is the middle school-level result, excludes this school, uses the same county and DOE school category, and ignores missing values. It is not weighted by enrollment. “pp” means percentage points. Graduation and acceleration measures use the cohorts specified by the state. Different measures describe different groups of students.
Use the results to identify questions, not to predict your child's experience. Programs, support, admissions and a campus visit can change which option fits your priorities. Read the state methodology ↗

Compare Bellview Middle School's course options, student support and daily schedule with this school. A different program or learning format may matter more to your child than the overall grade. A relevant option to investigate for a student curious about how digital systems work or how technology is used in business. Prior interest can guide the conversation without assuming the student already knows a future career.
District school: confirm zoning, transfers and availability.Campus-to-campus distances are straight-line estimates, not driving routes or distances from your home. Use the address search on the school map for a comparison from your own location. An alternative may be a better fit when its verified program, support or learning format aligns with your child's needs; a higher score in one measure does not settle that decision.
