Seaford School District


Summary:

The Seaford School District in Delaware serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The district's performance is mixed, with some standout elementary schools and challenges at the high school level.

Seaford Central Elementary School and Frederick Douglass Elementary School are the district's top performers, consistently ranking among the best in the state. These schools have strong test scores, particularly in Mathematics, outpacing the district and state averages. In contrast, Seaford Senior High School struggles, with significantly lower test scores than the state average and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The district as a whole faces challenges, with test scores generally below state averages, especially in Mathematics and Science. Additionally, all schools in the district have a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4%, higher than the state average. While per-student spending varies, it's unclear if this directly correlates with academic performance. Addressing these disparities and improving outcomes, particularly at the high school level, could be key priorities for the Seaford School District.
