Summary

Creekside Middle School in Port Orange, FL, serves 1,120 students in grades 6-8 and is a high-performing school within the Volusia district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the top 25% of all Florida middle schools.

What truly sets Creekside apart is its exceptional performance in advanced coursework. For example, 95% of students are proficient in Algebra 1 and 97% in Geometry—both far above district averages of 61% and 53%, respectively. This is a massive advantage over nearby schools like Ormond Beach Middle School (55th percentile) and Silver Sands Middle School (41st percentile). Creekside also excels in Civics (85% proficiency) and 8th-grade Science (71% proficiency), outperforming both district and state averages. Interestingly, Creekside achieves these results despite spending less per student ($9,370) than many lower-performing peers, such as Southwestern Middle School ($10,441) and New Smyrna Beach Middle School ($9,913). This suggests that the school's success is driven by effective teaching, a strong curriculum, and a supportive community rather than higher funding.

While Creekside has a lower rate of economic disadvantage (31.6% free/reduced lunch) compared to nearby schools like Silver Sands Middle School (54.5%), it also faces a notable challenge: a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.2%. Despite this, the school's academic performance remains robust, indicating that its success is resilient. Creekside's consistent excellence over the past decade—hovering between the 74th and 79th percentile—makes it a reliable choice for families seeking a strong middle school experience in the Port Orange area.
