Summary:
The Milford School District in Delaware is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from early childhood through 5th grade. These schools offer a diverse educational experience, with varying levels of academic performance and student demographics across the district.
The standout school in the district is Ross (Lulu M.) Elementary School, which consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.9%, making it a top performer in the Milford School District. In contrast, Mispillion Elementary and Banneker (Benjamin) Elementary School have lower test scores compared to the district and state, particularly in the lower grade levels.
The district's student population is diverse, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the district, with rates ranging from 16.9% at Ross (Lulu M.) Elementary to 30.7% at Morris (Evelyn I.) Early Childhood. The district should investigate the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and implement targeted strategies to improve attendance. Additionally, the district could explore opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices between the higher-performing and lower-performing schools to help raise the overall level of achievement.
