Summary:
The Delmar School District in Delaware is home to two schools - Delmar Middle School and Delmar High School. While Delmar High School has consistently ranked among the top 14 high schools in Delaware with a 4-star rating, Delmar Middle School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 26th to 21st out of Delaware middle schools.
Delmar High School's impressive 4-year graduation rate of 91.1% and low dropout rate of 2.3% in 2021-2022 demonstrate its commitment to student success. The school also outperformed the state average in SAT/English Language Arts and SAT/Essay for 11th-grade students. In contrast, both schools have room for improvement in their Smarter Balanced Assessments/Mathematics and DeSSA/Science scores, which are generally below the state averages.
While Delmar Middle School has a higher student-teacher ratio of 22.2 compared to Delmar High School's 19.1, the middle school spends less per student at $9,600 compared to the high school's $11,342 per student. The racial makeup of both schools is predominantly White, suggesting the district may need to examine its efforts to ensure equitable access and support for students of diverse backgrounds.
