Summary

Deltona High School is a large public high school in Deltona, FL, serving 1,716 students in grades 9-12 within the Volusia County school district, where just over half of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the school's standout features is its exceptional graduation rate, which has been at or above 96% for the last five years and reached 99.2% for the 2024-2025 school year. This rate significantly outperforms the district (95.6%), the state (92.2%), and nearby schools like Pine Ridge High School (97.7%) and DeLand High School (95.9%). Deltona also excels in science, with 85% of students proficient in Biology 1 EOC exams—well above the district (78%) and state (74%) averages, and surpassing even high-performing Seminole County schools like Lake Mary High School (77%) and Winter Springs High School (81%). In English Language Arts, 67% of 10th graders and 61% of 9th graders are proficient, matching Winter Springs and exceeding DeLand (60%) and University High School (58%).

However, the school faces a notable paradox: despite these strong outcomes, its chronic absenteeism rate is alarmingly high at 41.9%, far worse than the district (34.1%) and state (31.4%) averages, and higher than DeLand (29.6%) and University (37.0%). Additionally, math performance is a weakness, with only 42% proficient in Algebra 1 and 46% in Geometry—below district and state averages. On a positive note, the school has shown remarkable improvement from a recent low point in 2022-2023, when its state ranking dropped to the 48th percentile and Algebra 1 proficiency fell to just 15%. Since then, the ranking has jumped 18 percentile points, and Algebra 1 scores have nearly tripled. While it doesn't match the academic performance of the nearby magnet school Crooms Academy Of Information Technology, Deltona's near-perfect graduation rate shows it is exceptionally effective at ensuring all students cross the finish line.
