Seaford School District

The Seaford School District in Delaware serves a diverse student population across 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the district faces some challenges, particularly in its middle and high school performance, it also has standout elementary schools that are among the top-ranked in the state.

The Seaford Central Elementary School and Frederick Douglass Elementary School both rank in the top 33 out of 106 Delaware elementary schools and have 4-star ratings, with strong academic performance, including over 50% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the Seaford Senior High School has a lower 1-star rating and ranks 34th out of 41 Delaware high schools, though it stands out for its diverse student population, with 38% African American, 25% Hispanic, and 29% White students.

Across the district, there are concerns around graduation rates, dropout rates, and chronic absenteeism, particularly at the middle and high school levels. While spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary, the data suggests that addressing these challenges and the gaps in academic achievement could be an important focus for improvement in the Seaford School District.
