Summary:
The Capital School District in Delaware encompasses 14 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and aims to provide a quality education across its schools.
Several schools stand out in the district. Booker T. Washington Elementary School and Hartly Elementary School consistently perform above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. These schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios. North Dover Elementary School also demonstrates high academic achievement, with proficiency rates in the top quartile of the district.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district. While some schools excel, others, such as South Dover Elementary School and Middle School of Innovation, struggle with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. Additionally, all schools in the district have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 20.4%, which likely impacts student learning and achievement. The district should explore ways to address these disparities and support all students in achieving academic success.
