Summary:
The Laurel School District in Delaware contains only one high school, Laurel Senior High School, which serves grades 9-12. Based on the available data, Laurel Senior High School appears to be a low-performing school within the state, ranking 36th out of 41 high schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Laurel Senior High School has a 88.9% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a 3.9% dropout rate, which is slightly higher than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a 20.4% rate in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 26.58% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 47.41%.
While the data does not provide the school's free/reduced lunch rate, the low performance and high chronic absenteeism suggest Laurel Senior High School may be serving a high-need student population that is not receiving the necessary support and resources to succeed. The school's spending per student of $12,283 for the 2018-2019 school year is slightly higher than the state average, but the data indicates the school has significant room for improvement in providing a quality education to its students.
