Champion Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 35.45% White, 36.82% African American, 12.16% Hispanic, 4.79% Asian, and 10.1% two or more races. This diversity is higher compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Ormond Beach Elementary (70.44% White) and Tomoka Elementary (69.53% White).

Champion Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, is generally lower than the Volusia district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 47%, compared to 54% for Volusia and 55% for Florida. Similarly, the 5th-grade Math proficiency rate was 40%, compared to 53% for Volusia and 56% for Florida. This suggests that while Champion Elementary's spending per student ($11,607 in 2022-2023) is higher than the state average, it is still lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Turie T. Small Elementary ($12,862) and Palm Terrace Elementary ($12,120).

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.
