A closer look at Warrington Preparatory Academy.
Warrington Preparatory Academy currently describes itself as a tuition-free public charter school serving grades six through nine. Its curriculum page explains a Personal Learning Plan that is reviewed as a student's skills develop.
The 2025–26 Florida DOE report classifies Warrington Preparatory Academy in the middle category, as a public charter school in Escambia County. Its accountability grade is C; it earned 50% of possible accountability points. The published grade sequence is D in 2023–24, C in 2024–25, and C in 2025–26.
Make the charter timeline fit the PCS timeline
The school's published grades 6 through 9 pathway can raise a different question for a family arriving on orders: which grade can the student enter on the actual arrival date? Ask Warrington Prep for a direct application review. A military move, a nearby rental or a purchase contract does not itself confirm a charter seat.
Prepare two dated plans. One should list the school's application steps, outstanding records and proposed first day. The other should cover an available public-school enrollment route if an offer or arrival date changes. Ask the installation school liaison which office can resolve an enrollment or transfer question, then keep the receiving school's answer with the moving records.
For a student crossing into high-school coursework, send the current schedule and completed credits before departure. Ask how any partial semester will be handled. Pair the proposed timetable with your actual duty location and a backup pickup contact; a Corry-area campus should not be treated as a guaranteed quick trip from every Pensacola assignment.

What makes this school distinctive.
Individual learning plans
The school describes assessing skills at entry, setting a growth path and involving families in progress discussions.

The current site announces ninth-grade enrollment for 2026–27; older directory and performance records may still describe the former middle-school configuration.

Its 50% overall points result is 14 percentage points below the 64% median among 9 other middle schools in Escambia County with reported data.
What the results suggest.
Look beyond the latest letter
The sequence D → C → C 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.
Where to look closer
The social studies result is 53%, 28 percentage points below its 81% local peer median. This is a specific area to discuss, rather than a verdict on the whole school. Ask how teachers identify a student who needs help, what support looks like during the week, and how progress is shared with families.
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 | 50% | 64% (9 schools) | −14 pp |
| English language arts achievement | 43% | 55% (9 schools) | −12 pp |
| Mathematics achievement | 42% | 59% (9 schools) | −17 pp |
| Science achievement | 37% | 55% (9 schools) | −18 pp |
| Social studies achievement | 53% | 81% (9 schools) | −28 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 ↗

Bellview Middle School ↗
Directory grades 06–08 · NCES 2024-25. Confirm current entry grades.
Bellview Middle School reports 61% in social studies achievement, compared with 53% here. If this is a priority, ask how its instruction and support would serve your child. 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.Brown Barge Middle School ↗
Directory grades 06–08 · NCES 2024-25. Confirm current entry grades.
Brown Barge Middle School reports 91% in mathematics achievement, compared with 42% here. If this is a priority, ask how its instruction and support would serve your child. Worth exploring for a student interested in connecting ideas, investigating a theme and producing work with others. A visit should include the student's reaction to the learning format, not just an adult's interest in the magnet designation.
District school: confirm zoning, transfers and availability.J. H. Workman Middle School ↗
Directory grades 06–08 · NCES 2024-25. Confirm current entry grades.
J. H. Workman Middle School reports 61% in science achievement, compared with 37% here. If this is a priority, ask how its instruction and support would serve your child. Worth investigating for a middle school student interested in visual design, practical building or a structured leadership-oriented elective. Let the student's response to actual projects help guide the discussion about an introductory option.
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.
Before departure and before the first school day
- Can admissions review records before arrival, and which steps require the parent or student in person?
- How will the student's current grade and unfinished coursework be evaluated?
- Who confirms the seat and first day if orders or housing dates change?
- Which installation liaison and receiving-school contact should coordinate an unresolved transfer issue?
Keep the receiving-school contacts, missing records and confirmed first day with your PCS checklist. The installation liaison can help coordinate questions; the school makes the enrollment and course decisions.
