Summary

Campus Community School is a public charter school in Dover, DE, serving 409 students in grades K-8 and operating as its own district, which ranks 12th out of 34 districts statewide.

This school stands out most for its remarkable success with students from low socio-economic backgrounds—ranking 3rd out of 75 schools statewide (96th percentile) for this group, a dramatic improvement from just a few years ago. It also excels in early elementary literacy and math: 3rd grade proficiency rates jumped to 65% in ELA and 67.5% in math, far exceeding state averages of 40% and 43%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism sits at 15%, below the state average of 17.1% and much better than nearby North Dover Elementary School (23.7%) or Booker T. Washington Elementary School (26.5%). Compared to the nearby Academy Of Dover Charter School, just half a mile away, Campus Community posts significantly higher proficiency in nearly every subject—for example, 65% vs. 19.7% in 3rd grade ELA.

However, the school faces notable challenges. Math proficiency drops sharply in upper elementary grades, falling to just 10.87% in 5th grade (state: 34.88%), and science and social studies scores lag well behind state averages. Middle school performance is inconsistent, with strong 6th grade scores but weak 7th grade results. The student-teacher ratio has also risen from 14.8 to 20.4 over two years, which could strain the personalized attention that has driven its early-grade success. While the school shows year-to-year volatility due to small class sizes, it remains a solid, reliable option in the Dover area—consistently outperforming most Capital School District neighbors like East Dover Elementary School and South Dover Elementary School, while W. B. Simpson Elementary School in the Caesar Rodney School District offers comparable early-grade performance.

Open Quote Campus Community School bases the education, students discipline, teachers, and the people who are hired into administration on who is in the administrations little "group." Not to mention the education, especially in the middle school, is poor. Close Quote

Open Quote Campus used to be a very good school. At one time they were Superior in the ratings. As new administration took over and a new Board elected the quality diminished. They are now on Academic Review. The teachers are astounding! I can not say enough about the teachers but unfortunately without good leadership this school will fail in my opinion. Close Quote
