Best Public Schools in Greenville, DE

Summary:

The city of Greenville, Delaware is home to a single middle school, duPont (Alexis I.) Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the data set is limited to this one institution, it provides a comprehensive look at the school's performance and the challenges it faces.

Academically, duPont (Alexis I.) Middle School is underperforming compared to both the Red Clay Consolidated School District and the state of Delaware as a whole. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. This persistent academic struggle is reflected in the school's consistently low rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past three years.

Demographic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as the student population is predominantly Hispanic (49.19%) and African American (29.07%), which is not fully reflected in the district and state-level demographics. Additionally, the school faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, with 25.6% of students missing a significant number of school days. While the school's per-student spending is in line with the district and state, addressing these complex issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that considers the unique needs of the school's student population.
