The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at Campbell Middle School (79.88%) suggest a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and the school's academic struggles, a trend observed in many underperforming schools. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism and effectively allocating resources to support student learning could be crucial steps in helping Campbell Middle School improve student outcomes and close the performance gap with its peers.

The percentages are nowhere near correct in demographics. This is 90 African American, 9 Other, and 1 White. That's the reality. It's a Juvenile Detention Center cleverly named a middle school. It's a gladiator camp. That's the reality. There are fights, drugs, alcohol, thugs, gangs, and tremendous violence there. There's a reason NOT A SINGLE truancy officer ever takes a parent to court in Volusia County. The schools are unimaginably horrible in Daytona Beach, FL, and you will never get a variance, because they have to keep feeding new gladiators to these children grinding machines called schools. Move ANYWHERE ELSE Ormond, Port Orange, New Smyrna, Deland, but DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT move your family to Daytona Beach. Campbell Middle School is one of the worst schools in the entire nation.

This school is terrible. The teachers don't care for you child, especially if the skin color isn't of the majority that attend it. This school makes me sick. Absolutely the worst public school I have ever had to deal with! I would rather drive my kids every morning to another school. Daytona Beach would be much better off if they closed Campbell and used the money elsewhere. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
