Summary

Campbell Middle School is a public middle school located in Daytona Beach, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 842 students. The school is part of the Volusia District, which is ranked 28 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its location, Campbell Middle School faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 46.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the Volusia district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the Volusia district and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 35% of 6th graders, 28% of 7th graders, and 31% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Volusia district averages of 53%, 51%, and 52%, respectively.

Interestingly, the nearby middle schools, such as New Smyrna Beach Middle School, Creekside Middle School, and Ormond Beach Middle School, generally perform better than Campbell Middle School on various metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free and reduced lunch rates. This highlights the need for Campbell Middle School to identify and address the factors contributing to its underperformance.

The percentages are nowhere near correct in demographics. This is 90 African American, 9 Other, and 1 White. That's the reality. It's a Juvenile Detention Center cleverly named a middle school. It's a gladiator camp. That's the reality. There are fights, drugs, alcohol, thugs, gangs, and tremendous violence there. There's a reason NOT A SINGLE truancy officer ever takes a parent to court in Volusia County. The schools are unimaginably horrible in Daytona Beach, FL, and you will never get a variance, because they have to keep feeding new gladiators to these children grinding machines called schools. Move ANYWHERE ELSE Ormond, Port Orange, New Smyrna, Deland, but DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT move your family to Daytona Beach. Campbell Middle School is one of the worst schools in the entire nation.

This school is terrible. The teachers don't care for you child, especially if the skin color isn't of the majority that attend it. This school makes me sick. Absolutely the worst public school I have ever had to deal with! I would rather drive my kids every morning to another school. Daytona Beach would be much better off if they closed Campbell and used the money elsewhere. Close Quote
