Summary

Spruce Creek High School in Port Orange, FL, is a large public high school serving 2,576 students in grades 9-12 within the Volusia district, and it stands out for its near-perfect graduation rate of 99.5%—the highest among nearby traditional high schools and well above the state average of 92.2%.

This school excels in English Language Arts, with 72% of 10th graders and 68% of 9th graders proficient, significantly outpacing nearby schools like Atlantic High School (53% and 55%) and Mainland High School (57% and 45%). It also performs strongly in Biology (85% proficient) and US History (78% proficient), well above district averages. However, a notable weakness is Algebra 1, where only 42% of students are proficient—far below the district (61%) and state (63%) averages. This contrasts with its Geometry performance (60% proficient), which meets state benchmarks. Compared to its top rival, Seabreeze High School, Spruce Creek has a higher graduation rate (99.5% vs. 98.6%), but Seabreeze outperforms in nearly every academic subject, including Algebra 1 (69% vs. 42%) and US History (86% vs. 78%).

Spruce Creek is also highly efficient, spending just $9,288 per student—the lowest among area traditional high schools—while achieving strong results in most subjects. A growing concern is chronic absenteeism, which has more than doubled from 15.6% in 2019-2020 to 32.4% in 2023-2024, though this rate is lower than at Atlantic High School (42.5%) and Mainland High School (44.1%). With a lower rate of economic disadvantage (34% free/reduced lunch) compared to nearby schools, Spruce Creek remains a strong choice for families prioritizing graduation and literacy, though the Algebra 1 gap may warrant attention.
