Best Public Schools in Zip Code 19808

The 19808 zip code area of Wilmington, Delaware is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Red Clay Consolidated School District, except for Gateway Charter School. The data reveals a wide range of academic performance among these schools, with some standout high-performers and others that consistently struggle.

Linden Hill Elementary School and Heritage Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the area, ranking among the best in the state. In contrast, Mote (Anna P.) Elementary School and Gateway Charter School struggle with very low proficiency rates and poor rankings.

Across the district, high chronic absenteeism rates and variations in per-student spending suggest potential systemic challenges that may be contributing to the disparities in educational outcomes. While Dickinson (John) School and McKean (Thomas) High School have respectable graduation rates, their academic performance on standardized tests lags behind the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics.
