Summary

Lancashire Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Wilmington, Delaware, serving 479 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Brandywine School District, which is ranked 9th out of 32 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lancashire Elementary consistently ranks in the top 30% of Delaware elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly higher than the Brandywine School District and Delaware state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Lancashire Elementary had over 50% of its 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 43.22% and the state's 38.72%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were also higher than the district and state averages.

Lancashire Elementary's performance for its African American and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations is notably higher than nearby schools, ranking in the top 20 and 4th out of 62 Delaware elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's male students lag behind their female counterparts, an issue that is not unique to Lancashire Elementary and is seen in several nearby schools as well. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, while fluctuating, is within the range of the Brandywine School District's elementary schools, suggesting a district-wide challenge in this area.
