Delaware City

The Delaware City School District in Ohio consists of 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Among the standout schools in the district, Robert F Schultz Elementary School ranks the highest, with a 4-star rating and strong academic performance on state tests. The John C Dempsey Middle School also stands out, consistently ranking in the top third of Ohio middle schools and excelling in science and math. At the high school level, Rutherford B Hayes High School boasts a high 4-year graduation rate and a diverse student population.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in academic performance and socioeconomic factors across the district. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Laura Woodward Elementary and James Conger Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. The district may benefit from learning from its top-performing schools and implementing strategies to support the lower-performing ones, while also considering the impact of student-teacher ratios and socioeconomic factors on academic achievement.
