Delmar Elementary is part of the Wicomico County Public Schools district, which is ranked 18 out of 25 districts in Maryland and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delmar Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within its district and the state of Maryland. The school's proficiency rates in both Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 4th grade. Additionally, Delmar Elementary's student-teacher ratio of 16.3 is lower than the state average, and the school's per-student spending of $14,817 is higher than the state average, suggesting more resources are available.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.1% is relatively high, and the free/reduced lunch rate of 30.61% indicates that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present additional challenges for the school to address. Overall, Delmar Elementary is a relatively strong-performing school, but it also has areas for potential improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
