High Schools in First State Military Academy

First State Military Academy is the sole high school located in Clayton, Delaware, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 416 students. While the school maintains a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, its performance shows both strengths and areas for improvement.

On the positive side, First State Military Academy boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.9% and a low dropout rate of 3.9%, both of which outperform the state averages. However, the school's test scores on the SAT and DeSSA assessments are generally below the state averages across core subjects, suggesting a need to focus on enhancing academic achievement. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% is slightly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the lower test scores.

In terms of resources, First State Military Academy has a student-teacher ratio of 18:1, which is relatively favorable compared to many other schools. The school's per-student spending of $12,478 for the 2018-2019 school year is also in line with the state's average spending. Overall, while the school maintains a consistent performance, there are opportunities for improvement in academic outcomes and student engagement to better support the success of its students.
