Best Public Schools in Felton, DE

The city of Felton, Delaware is home to three schools in the Lake Forest School District, including two elementary schools (Lake Forest Central Elementary School and Lake Forest North Elementary School) and one high school (Lake Forest High School). The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.

Among the standout schools, Lake Forest North Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments, potentially aided by its low student-teacher ratio of 12.9. Lake Forest Central Elementary School also ranks in the top half of Delaware elementary schools and exceeds district and state averages in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the data also reveals areas for improvement, particularly at the high school level. Lake Forest High School lags behind the state averages in SAT/ELA and SAT/Math proficiency rates, and all three schools in the district struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed. Overall, the data provides a nuanced view of the schools in Felton, highlighting both strengths and opportunities for growth within the district.
