The Pensacola State College Charter Academy was one of two high schools in the Escambia County School District to earn an “A” grade for the 2024–25 academic year, according to the Florida Department of Education. This marks the second year in a row the PSC Charter Academy has received the top rating.
The Escambia County School District as a whole received a “B” grade for the 2024–25 school year.
Since opening in fall 2022, PSC Charter Academy has awarded high school diplomas to 102 seniors. Of those graduates, 60 also earned Associate in Arts degrees from PSC.
Charter Academy Principal Dr. Karen McCabe said she is proud of students’ performance on the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking, or FAST.
FAST, introduced in 2022, is a relatively new set of state assessments based on Florida’s B.E.S.T. standards—Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking.
“We are extremely proud of our students and grateful for the support we have received from their families and the community,” McCabe said. “We look forward to continued growth and success.”
Fall 2025 classes at the Charter Academy begin Monday, Aug. 11, for ninth- and 10th-graders, and Monday, Aug. 18, for 11th- and 12th-graders. McCabe expects enrollment to exceed 200 students—the highest in the school’s history.
