Brandywine School District

Summary:

The Brandywine School District in Delaware operates 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 9 out of 32 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their strong performance. Hanby Elementary School is ranked 18th out of 106 Delaware elementary schools, with high proficiency across core subjects. Claymont Elementary School is ranked 15th in the state and also has excellent academic outcomes. At the high school level, Brandywine High School and Concord High School are both ranked 10th out of 41 Delaware high schools, with above-average performance on state assessments.

The district as a whole has a 88.9% four-year graduation rate and a 3.9% dropout rate across its three high schools. However, chronic absenteeism is a concern, with all schools in the district reporting a 20.4% rate. Spending per student varies widely, from $15,214 to $27,499, but this does not necessarily correlate with academic outcomes. Overall, the Brandywine School District appears to have a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with the high schools showing more consistency in their results.
