Summary

Delmar Elementary is a public elementary school serving 882 students in grades PK-4 in Delmar, Maryland, which is part of the Wicomico County Public Schools district. This school stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, with students outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests in both mathematics and English language arts.

Delmar Elementary has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district and state, and a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch than many nearby schools. However, while Delmar excels, some neighboring schools in the Wicomico County district struggle academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects. One exception is North Salisbury Elementary, a public magnet school that outperforms Delmar on test scores.

Interestingly, Delmar Elementary has a relatively low per-student spending amount compared to some other schools in the area, and a higher student-teacher ratio than nearby schools with lower ratios. These factors suggest that Delmar is able to achieve strong academic outcomes despite these resource constraints, making it a standout option for families in the Delmar community.
