Summary

Delaware Elementary School is a K–6 school at 700 N Garvin St in Evansville, Indiana, serving 379 students as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. About 71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making it one of the higher-poverty schools in its area.

On state tests, Delaware's results run at roughly half the district's already below-average rates: 17.58% of students were proficient in English language arts, 21.31% in math, and 21.88% in science, compared with about 34%, 34%, and 33% across the district. That places the school at the 15th percentile statewide (1 star). Performance varies a great deal by grade — 6th grade is clearly the strongest, while 4th grade math and science are the weakest. Among ten nearby schools, Delaware sits mid-pack overall (6th of 11 in reading), but it is unusually stronger in math and science, where it ranks 4th and leads every other high-poverty peer. Reading is its clearest relative weakness. Classes are small (11.7 students per teacher) and spending is mid-range at $13,429 per student; nearby schools show that neither spending nor class size predicts results here.

The most encouraging news is attendance. Chronic absenteeism fell from 27.5% in 2023–24 to 20.9% in 2024–25 — nearly 9 points in two years — better than the district's 21.5% and close to the state's 16.7%. Math and science also rose that year, and science nearly doubled. The stubborn problem is 5th-grade social studies, where proficiency has stayed between 0% and 10% for four straight years against a state rate near 47%. Note also that the reported poverty rate fell sharply in 2024–25 (from 88.83% to 70.98%), which likely reflects a reporting change rather than a sudden shift in family economics. Overall, Delaware is improving in some areas but remains well behind nearby Vogel Elementary School, Harper Elementary School, and Stringtown Elementary School.

Smaller classes and teachers that go above and beyond to help students out. My son loved it there. Close Quote
