Summary

Pine Ridge High School in Deltona, FL, is a large public high school serving 1,648 students in grades 9-12 within the Volusia County School District, a district ranked 34th out of 70 in Florida.

Pine Ridge faces significant challenges, particularly with chronic absenteeism, which at 42.7% is the highest among comparable standard high schools in the area and well above the state average of 31.4%. This issue is likely a major factor behind the school's low academic performance in core subjects like math and English language arts, where proficiency rates (33% in Algebra 1 and 48% in 9th-grade ELA) lag far behind state averages. However, the school shows a notable strength in Biology 1 and US History, where proficiency rates (76% and 77%) actually exceed state averages. Interestingly, Pine Ridge has achieved a remarkable 97.7% graduation rate, up from 83.4% just a few years ago, suggesting a strong focus on ensuring students complete credits, even if deep academic mastery remains a struggle. When compared to its closest neighbor, Deltona High School, which serves a similar student population, Pine Ridge underperforms in nearly every academic metric, indicating that school-specific factors like culture and instructional strategies play a key role.

Despite spending $9,453 per student—more than some higher-performing area schools—Pine Ridge has been stuck with a 2-star rating for most of the last decade, ranking 480th out of 838 schools in Florida for 2025-2026. To improve, the school must prioritize tackling its absenteeism crisis and build on its relative strengths in science and history to boost overall student achievement.
