Summary:
Zip code 19807 in the Wilmington/Greenville area of Delaware is served by 4 schools—3 high schools and 1 middle school—enrolling about 2,923 students, with no elementary schools in the immediate area.
This zip code presents a dramatic split in school quality. At the top, Calloway (Cab) School of the Arts is currently ranked #1 in Delaware (2025-2026) with a 5-star rating, serving grades 6-12 with 941 students. It boasts exceptional outcomes: 68.6% ELA proficiency, 32.2% math proficiency, and just 2.3% chronic absenteeism—far better than state averages. Sharing the same campus at 100 North duPont Road, Charter School of Wilmington was historically the state's top school (ranked #1 in 2018-2019) with 977 students and similarly low absenteeism, though its most recent data is dated. In stark contrast, duPont (Alexis I.) High School ranks last (41st of 41) in Delaware, with only 14% ELA and 5% math proficiency, and a staggering 40.3% chronic absenteeism rate—2.4 times the state average. Its feeder, duPont (Alexis I.) Middle School, ranks 54th of 59 middle schools with just 7-9% math proficiency and 27.4% chronic absenteeism.
Within the Red Clay Consolidated School District, the achievement gap is stark: Calloway outperforms duPont High by 4.9x in ELA, 6.4x in math, and 8.8x in science. Notably, duPont High spends the most per student ($16,399) yet achieves the least, while Calloway's selective arts program and strong culture drive its success. For parents, school choice is the single most decisive factor here—the difference between elite, specialized programming and struggling open-enrollment schools is enormous, even within the same neighborhood.
