Laurel School District


Summary:

The Laurel School District in Delaware is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district serves a diverse student population, the schools consistently underperform compared to state averages on standardized tests, indicating systemic challenges that need to be addressed.

Among the standout schools, North Laurel Early Learning Academy has the lowest student-teacher ratio in the district, which could suggest more individualized attention for students. However, this school also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate, which is a concern. In contrast, Laurel Middle School has the highest academic performance in the district, with a larger percentage of students proficient in English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages.

Across the district, attendance issues appear to be a significant challenge, with Laurel Senior High School and North Laurel Early Learning Academy having the highest chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the district's graduation rate at Laurel Senior High School is slightly below the state average. Addressing these attendance and performance challenges will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to ensure all students in the Laurel School District have the support they need to succeed.
