Summary:
Zip code 32713 in Debary, Florida, is home to three schools within the Volusia district, serving primarily elementary grades with one K-12 online option and no traditional middle or high schools.
Debary Elementary School stands out as the top performer, earning a 4-star rating and consistently ranking in the 78th-84th percentile statewide. It averages 76% proficiency across subjects, with strong math scores (77%) and exceptional 5th-grade science (80%). In contrast, The Reading Edge Academy struggles with a 1-star rating and declining rankings, averaging only 50% proficiency and a critical weakness in math (38%). Volusia Online Learning-FLVS (Franchise) offers a unique K-12 online format with a strong 94% graduation rate and low chronic absenteeism (10.1%), but its test scores are wildly inconsistent—excelling in 3rd-grade ELA (95%) while faltering in math (52%) and geometry (32%).
Resource allocation appears linked to performance: Debary Elementary spends $10,027 per student with a 15.2:1 ratio, while The Reading Edge Academy spends just $8,126 per student with a high 41:1 ratio. All three schools have significantly lower chronic absenteeism than the district (34.1%) and state (31.4%) averages. Notably, The Reading Edge Academy has a very low economic disadvantage rate (8.84%) yet underperforms, suggesting challenges beyond poverty. The lack of a traditional middle or high school means students must leave the zip code for grades 6-12, with only the online Volusia school as a local alternative.
