Best Elementary Schools in Delaware for Low Socio Economic Status Students

Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in Delaware!

Every year, the Delaware Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.

Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Low Socio Economic Status students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.

Year after year, SchoolDigger is always the first to publish Delaware test scores and rankings. Other sites use stale test score data that are several years old! Be in the know with the very latest performance metrics.

The list is updated annually upon the release of the DeSSA and Smarter Balanced Assessments test scores by the Delaware Department of Education. The most recent update was on Friday, August 15, 2025.
