Summary:
Sussex Montessori School is the sole elementary public charter school located in Seaford, Delaware, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 439 students. While this school is the only one represented in the data set, the available information suggests it is struggling academically compared to other Delaware elementary schools.
According to the data, Sussex Montessori School has a district rank of 31 out of 32 in Delaware and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 82nd out of 106 Delaware elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 102nd out of 109 in 2024-2025. Student academic performance is significantly below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates as low as 11.29% in 3rd grade English Language Arts compared to the state average of 38.72%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, at 20.4% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Without additional context about the school's demographics, resources, or other factors, it's difficult to determine the root causes of the school's underperformance. However, the data clearly indicates that Sussex Montessori School is an outlier in terms of poor academic outcomes compared to other elementary schools in Delaware, and further investigation would be warranted to understand how to better support the students and teachers at this institution.
