Summary:
The Seaford School District in Delaware has only one middle school, Seaford Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to other middle schools in the state, ranking in the bottom half of Delaware middle schools for the past few years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Seaford Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies falling well below the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 16.99% in 6th grade Math to 47.23% in 7th grade Social Studies, while the state averages ranged from 26.56% in 8th grade Math to 55.06% in 7th grade Social Studies. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4%, which likely contributes to its academic struggles.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1 and reasonable spending per student of $12,500, Seaford Middle School appears to be an underperforming school that could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and the overall quality of education. The school's performance is consistently below the Seaford School District and the state of Delaware averages, indicating a need for the school to identify and address the root causes of its academic challenges.
