Summary:

The Red Clay Consolidated School District in Delaware is home to four middle schools serving grades 6-8, with a combined enrollment of about 2,185 students across suburban and urban areas near Wilmington. The district itself ranks 16th out of 34 in the state, but the schools within it tell two very different stories.

duPont (H.B.) Middle School is the clear standout, ranking 12th out of 59 Delaware middle schools (80th percentile, 4 stars) and outperforming the district average in every subject and grade level. Its average ELA proficiency is 59.2% and math is 48.5%—roughly three to six times higher than the other three schools. In contrast, Stanton Middle School (ranked 56th), duPont (Alexis I.) Middle School (ranked 54th), and Skyline Middle School (ranked 52nd) all sit in the bottom 12% of the state, with math proficiency rates in the single digits (7.7% to 11.0%) and 8th-grade science proficiency as low as 3.1% to 6.0%.

Interestingly, spending and class size do not explain the gap. Skyline spends the most per student ($17,868) and has the smallest classes (11.6:1), yet performs near the bottom, while H.B. duPont spends the least ($14,489) with the largest classes (16.6:1) and achieves the best results. Chronic absenteeism also varies widely: H.B. duPont has a low 7.5% rate, while Alexis I. duPont struggles at 27.4%—nearly four times higher. For parents, the takeaway is clear: H.B. duPont offers consistently strong academics and attendance, while the other three schools face significant challenges that may require extra support and attention, particularly in math and science.
