Its test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the district and state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support. Additionally, all three schools in Millsboro have a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average and could be a contributing factor to the schools' academic performance.
