Better than 2% of Delaware elementary schools

Summary

Mote (Anna P.) Elementary School is a K-5 school in Wilmington, DE, serving 310 students within the Red Clay Consolidated School District. The school currently holds a 0-star rating and ranks in the bottom 2% of elementary schools in Delaware, a position it has consistently occupied over the past decade.

Academically, Mote's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are dramatically below district and state averages. For example, in the most recent testing year, only 8.93% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 34.43% in the district and 40.05% statewide. This pattern of being 20-30 percentage points behind the state average is consistent across all grades and subjects. The school's performance is notably lower than nearby schools like Linden Hill Elementary School (90th percentile) and William F. Cooke Junior Elementary (89th percentile), which are among the top-performing schools in the state. Even Marbrook Elementary School, located less than a mile away, ranks in the 40th percentile and has significantly higher proficiency rates—48% of its 5th graders were proficient in ELA compared to 16.67% at Mote.

Despite these challenges, there are a few notable observations. The school spends $19,049 per student, the highest among all nearby schools, yet this funding has not translated into academic success. Chronic absenteeism stands at 19.2%, which is higher than high-performing neighbors like Brandywine Springs School (2.3%) but not the highest in the area. Interestingly, Hispanic students at Mote ranked in the 23rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025, significantly better than the school's overall 10th percentile ranking, suggesting some relative strength for this subgroup. While the data shows some year-to-year fluctuations, the overall picture remains one of a school facing significant academic challenges despite substantial financial investment.
