High Schools in Delmar School District


Summary:

The Delmar School District in Delaware is home to a single high school, Delmar High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 11th and 27th out of 39-41 schools over the past few years. Similarly, its SchoolDigger rating has ranged from 4 stars to 2 stars out of 5.

Delmar High School's academic performance has also been a concern, with proficiency rates in SAT/English Language Arts, SAT/Mathematics, SAT/Essay, DeSSA/Science, and DeSSA/Social Studies all falling below state averages in the 2024-2025 school year. This represents a decline from the previous year, when the school's proficiency rates were generally higher. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.9% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 3.9% is slightly higher.

Other key metrics for Delmar High School include a student-teacher ratio of 19.8, which is slightly higher than the state average, and per-student spending of $11,342, which is in line with the state average. However, the data does not provide information about the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, which could be an important indicator of the socioeconomic status of the student population. Overall, the analysis suggests that Delmar High School is facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement and student engagement, and further investigation into the underlying factors would be necessary to identify potential areas for improvement.
