Summary

Galaxy Middle School in Deltona, FL, is a public school serving approximately 939 students in grades 6-8, and it is part of the Volusia district, where a majority of students (57.4%) come from low-income families.

One of the most striking findings is that Galaxy Middle School operates like two different schools. It excels in advanced math, with 74% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 88% in Geometry—outperforming both the district and state averages. However, the majority of students struggle significantly with on-grade-level math, especially in 7th grade, where only 21% are proficient compared to 53% statewide. This gap is far more pronounced than at nearby high-performing schools like Creekside Middle School, where 7th-grade math proficiency is 58%. The school also underperforms in core subjects like 8th-grade ELA (40% proficient) and science (43% proficient), and it faces a persistent challenge with chronic absenteeism, which affects 36.3% of students—among the highest in the area and similar to Deltona Middle School (36.4%).

Interestingly, the school’s struggles are not due to a lack of funding, as it spends $9,655 per student, comparable to other local schools. The contrast with nearby Seminole district schools, such as Sanford Middle School, which achieve much higher proficiency rates (e.g., 77% in 8th-grade science and ELA) despite serving similar demographics, suggests that poverty is not destiny. For Galaxy to improve, it must focus on boosting attendance, closing the gap between its advanced and general education programs, and learning from the successful strategies of higher-performing districts.
