Summary

St. Georges Technical High School in Middletown, DE, is a public vocational-technical high school serving 1,198 students in grades 9 through 12 as part of the New Castle County Vocational-Technical School District.

This school stands out for its strong academic performance and impressive student engagement. In English Language Arts and Science, St. Georges students significantly outperform both district and state averages—for example, 52.84% of 11th graders scored proficient in ELA on the SAT, compared to 44.02% statewide. The school has earned a 4-star rating and climbed to 11th place out of 41 Delaware high schools, a notable improvement from its 3-star ratings just a few years ago. What makes this even more remarkable is that St. Georges is a top performer for African American students (ranked 5th in the state) and for students from low socio-economic backgrounds (ranked 4th), demonstrating that its success extends across all student groups. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.5%—less than half the state average of 17.1% and dramatically lower than nearby traditional high schools like Penn (William) High School (37.0%) and Odessa High School (23.9%). Its dropout rate of 1.0% is also far below the state average of 3.9%.

While St. Georges excels in literacy and science, its math proficiency on the SAT (14.18%) trails the state average (18.16%), though it still far exceeds its district average of 7.86%. When compared to the top-performing traditional schools in the Appoquinimink School District—such as Appoquinimink High School and Middletown High School—St. Georges has comparable ELA scores but significantly better attendance, suggesting the hands-on technical programs may foster stronger student engagement. This combination of high overall rankings, exceptional outcomes for diverse student populations, and consistently engaged students makes St. Georges a compelling option for families seeking a school that prioritizes both academic growth and real-world career preparation.
