Summary

Beachside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Daytona Beach, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 711 students. The school is part of the Volusia District, which is ranked 28th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Beachside Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 35.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages of around 20-25%. The school's test scores are also generally lower than the Volusia District and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Beachside's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 48%, compared to 57% for the district and the state. Additionally, Beachside has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 66.01% to 77.36% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages of around 55-60%.

When comparing Beachside Elementary to nearby schools in the Volusia District, it becomes clear that Beachside is underperforming in several key areas. For instance, Pine Trail Elementary and Ormond Beach Elementary have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Beachside. These factors, along with the school's lower spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggest that Beachside Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the challenges it faces and improve student outcomes.
