Summary

Deltona Middle School in Deltona, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving 1,132 students in grades 6-8 within the Volusia district, where a majority of students (55.74%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating higher economic need compared to some neighboring schools.

This school presents a fascinating "tale of two schools" in math performance. On one hand, it achieves exceptional results in advanced math, with 100% of students proficient in the Geometry EOC and 84% in Algebra 1—scores that outpace district averages and even surpass high-performing Seminole County schools like Indian Trails Middle School (91% Geometry) and Markham Woods Middle School (98% Geometry). However, grade-level math tells a different story: 7th-grade FAST Math proficiency is just 37%, the lowest among its Volusia peers and well below the state average of 53%. This suggests a highly effective program for top-tier math students, while the general student body struggles significantly. The school also underperforms in Civics (68%) and 8th-grade Science (54%) compared to district averages.

A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which at 36.4% is the highest among nearby Volusia schools like River Springs Middle School (29.3%) and far above Seminole schools like Indian Trails (20.5%). This likely contributes to inconsistent year-over-year test scores. Despite higher economic need, Deltona Middle spends just $9,434 per student—the lowest in its peer group, compared to Southwestern Middle School ($10,441) and Deland Middle School ($9,813). For parents, this school offers a standout advanced math program but faces challenges in core subjects, attendance, and funding that affect the broader student experience.
