Summary

Richard Milburn Academy is a public charter high school located in Daytona Beach, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 882 students. The school is part of the Volusia school district, which is ranked 28th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Volusia district, Richard Milburn Academy consistently performs significantly below the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 8-12% of its students proficient in core subjects like Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology 1, and US History, compared to 54-75% proficiency at the district level and 55-71% at the state level. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 82.2% and 93.7% in recent years, generally lower than the 89.7% rate at the nearby New Smyrna Beach High School and Spruce Creek High School. Additionally, Richard Milburn Academy has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.9% to 93.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the 31.4% rate at the nearby high schools.

The school serves a student population with a much higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 41.49% to 75.74% in recent years, compared to 38.51-57.38% at the nearby high schools. This suggests that the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may require additional support and resources to help students overcome these barriers to learning. Despite these challenges, the data indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement, as the school's graduation rates have shown some variability, suggesting that targeted interventions could potentially help improve student outcomes.
