Summary:
The city of Seaford, Delaware is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The Seaford School District serves the area, while Sussex Montessori School is a public charter school with a unique Montessori-based approach.
Among the standout schools in Seaford are Seaford Central Elementary School and Frederick Douglass Elementary School, which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state. These schools have strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, outperforming the district and state averages. In contrast, Seaford Senior High School and Seaford Middle School struggle with lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to state averages.
The district as a whole is ranked 16th out of 32 districts in Delaware and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting room for improvement. A significant concern across all schools is the consistently high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4%, which can have a substantial impact on student learning and achievement. The district should prioritize addressing this issue, as well as improving test scores, particularly in mathematics, to ensure all students in Seaford receive a high-quality education.
