Summary

Mote (Anna P.) Elementary School is a public elementary school in Wilmington, Delaware, serving 324 students in grades K-5 as part of the Red Clay Consolidated School District. However, the school consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on academic measures, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Mote (Anna P.) Elementary School has a chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 20.4% to 28.6%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and white students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective peer groups in the state. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-25% of Delaware elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Red Clay Consolidated School District, such as Richardson Park Elementary, Heritage Elementary, and Marbrook Elementary, generally perform much better than Mote (Anna P.) Elementary School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better school rankings. While the high chronic absenteeism rates and low academic performance at Mote (Anna P.) Elementary School may be linked to the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, the school's per-student spending is higher than the nearby schools, suggesting that additional resources may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes.
