Summary:
Seaford School District has one middle school, Seaford Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Located in Seaford, Delaware, the school's performance lags behind both the Seaford School District and the state averages across key metrics.
Seaford Middle School's academic performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.7% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 40.51%. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates were even lower, with just 14.96% of 8th-graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 24.81%. Additionally, Seaford Middle School had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7% in the 2022-2023 school year.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.8 is relatively low, and its per-student spending of $12,500 in 2018-2019 is a data point that could be further explored, the overall academic performance and high chronic absenteeism suggest that Seaford Middle School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing these issues and aligning the school's performance with the district and state averages should be a priority for the Seaford School District.
