Summary

duPont (Alexis I.) Middle School in Greenville, DE, is a public school serving 455 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Red Clay Consolidated School District.

This school is facing significant academic challenges. Test scores are critically low across all subjects, with math proficiency rates between 7% and 9% and English Language Arts proficiency between 15% and 31% — well below both district and state averages. Science proficiency for 8th graders is just 6%. The school has ranked in the bottom 10% of Delaware middle schools for the past decade. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with 27.4% of students missing 10% or more of the school year, compared to about 17% statewide. On a positive note, 8th-grade English scores have shown steady improvement over the past two years, rising from about 19% to nearly 31% proficiency, suggesting some interventions may be taking hold.

What makes these results particularly striking is the comparison to duPont (H.B.) Middle School, located just over six miles away in the same district. H.B. duPont ranks in the 80th percentile statewide, with math proficiency rates of 43-52% and chronic absenteeism of only 7.5% — nearly four times lower than Alexis I. duPont. Notably, Alexis I. duPont actually spends more per student ($15,518) and has a better student-to-teacher ratio (13:1) than H.B. duPont, indicating the challenges are not simply about resources. For parents considering this school, it's important to understand that while the school offers a favorable class size, the academic outcomes and attendance issues are serious concerns that warrant careful consideration and open conversation with school administrators about support services and improvement plans.
