Summary

Lombardy Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wilmington, Delaware, serving 460 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Brandywine School District, which is ranked 9th out of 32 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lombardy Elementary consistently outperforms the Brandywine School District and the state of Delaware in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Lombardy's 3rd grade students scored 55.56% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 43.22% for the district and 38.72% for the state. The school has maintained a consistent level of academic performance, ranking between 21st and 48th out of over 100 Delaware elementary schools in recent years. However, Lombardy's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.2% to 23.3% over the past few years, are a significant concern that may be impacting the school's overall academic performance.

Compared to other nearby elementary schools in the Brandywine School District, Lombardy Elementary generally outperforms its peers in academic performance. For instance, Forwood Elementary also demonstrates strong academic results and may provide valuable insights or best practices that Lombardy could learn from. Additionally, Lombardy's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 13.8 over the past few years, suggests that students may receive more individualized attention and support from their teachers.
