Summary:
The 19975 zip code area in Delaware is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Indian River School District. The data reveals that Selbyville Middle School and Southern Delaware School of the Arts stand out as high-performing schools, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in academic assessments.
Selbyville Middle School is consistently ranked among the top 20 middle schools in Delaware, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies test scores across multiple grade levels, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6. Similarly, Southern Delaware School of the Arts, a public magnet elementary/middle school, has consistently ranked among the top 25 elementary schools in Delaware, with a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly outperforms the district and state averages in various subject areas and has a low student-teacher ratio of 13.
In contrast, Showell (Phillip C.) Elementary School has lower test scores compared to the other schools, with some areas significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, all three schools for which data is available have a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4%, which is higher than the state average. The variation in spending per student across the schools suggests that the district may be allocating resources differently based on the specific needs and characteristics of each school.
