Summary:
The 32129 zip code area in Volusia County, Florida is home to 7 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 3 alternative schools. These schools serve a diverse student population with varying levels of academic performance and student needs.
Among the standout schools in the area is Silver Sands Middle School, which consistently outperforms the Volusia district and state averages on state assessments, particularly in math and science. The school's high proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism suggest effective teaching practices and a strong academic environment. In contrast, Horizon Elementary and Sugar Mill Elementary have lower proficiency rates and higher chronic absenteeism, indicating potential equity concerns that may be linked to the schools' higher percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
The data also reveals the unique characteristics of the area's alternative schools, such as Volusia Online Learning-FLVS (Franchise), which boasts impressive performance on state assessments and a strong graduation rate, as well as very low chronic absenteeism. However, the alternative school Volusia Virtual Instruction Program District Provided has a concerning graduation rate of only 5.7%, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by these specialized institutions.
