Woodbridge School District

The Woodbridge School District in Delaware is home to four schools, including two elementary schools (Woodbridge Early Childhood Education Center and Phillis Wheatley Elementary School), one middle school (Woodbridge Middle School), and one high school (Woodbridge High School).

Among the standout schools, Phillis Wheatley Elementary School ranks 47th out of 106 Delaware elementary schools and outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, Woodbridge High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and consistently underperforms the state averages in all tested subjects. Additionally, Woodbridge Middle School has struggled with low proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, and has seen a drop in its statewide ranking and rating.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, ranging from 17.8% at Phillis Wheatley Elementary School to 25.1% at Woodbridge Early Childhood Education Center. This issue may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by some of the schools. The district also faces disparities in performance between the elementary and middle school levels, suggesting a need to investigate the underlying factors driving these differences.
