Summary:
The 19904 zip code area in Delaware is home to 11 schools spanning elementary, middle, high, and alternative education, across two school districts - Capital School District and Caesar Rodney School District. While academic performance varies, a few standout schools emerge, including Campus Community School, a public charter with strong proficiency rates, and Booker T. Washington Elementary, a traditional public school that also exceeds district and state averages.
The student populations across these schools are diverse, with varying racial compositions and socioeconomic backgrounds. This diversity is reflected in the wide range of academic proficiency levels observed, even within the same school district. Schools with higher percentages of minority and low-income students tend to have lower test scores, highlighting the persistent challenge of addressing educational inequities in the area.
Despite the overall variation, the data suggests that high-quality education can be delivered through different school models. The strong performance of Campus Community School, a public charter, and Booker T. Washington Elementary, a traditional public school, underscores the importance of school-level factors, such as leadership, teaching quality, and school culture, in driving student outcomes. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the achievement gaps observed, particularly in the lower-performing schools.
