Summary

Wilmington Manor Elementary School is a public elementary school located in New Castle, Delaware, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 368 students. The school is part of the Colonial School District, which is ranked 26 out of 32 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wilmington Manor Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Delaware elementary schools, with a ranking between 51 and 96 out of around 100 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. Key areas of concern include high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.0% to 29.7% in recent years, and consistently lower academic performance compared to district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 26.15% in ELA and 30.77% in Math, compared to the state averages of 38.72% and 42.17%, respectively.

While the performance of Wilmington Manor Elementary School is comparable to other schools in the Colonial School District, it lags behind nearby schools in other districts, such as Richey Elementary and Richardson Park Elementary in the Red Clay Consolidated School District, which perform significantly better on state assessments despite serving similar student populations. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as attendance and targeted interventions for struggling students, will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Wilmington Manor Elementary School.
