Best Public Schools in Delmar, MD

Summary:

The city of Delmar, Maryland has just one school, Delmar Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. As the sole school in the area, Delmar Elementary stands out as a relatively high-performing institution, outpacing the average academic performance of Wicomico County Public Schools in both mathematics and English language arts. However, the school still lags behind the statewide averages for Maryland, suggesting room for further improvement.

Delmar Elementary's diverse student body is predominantly White (57.58%), with significant populations of African American (16.32%), Hispanic (10.49%), and students of two or more races (11.31%). The school's per-student spending of $12,833 is relatively high compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic performance. However, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (36.83%) indicates the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.

The school's student-teacher ratio of 16.5 to 1 is relatively low, which could be beneficial for providing personalized attention and support to students. Overall, Delmar Elementary appears to be a reasonably strong-performing school within its local context, but there may be opportunities to further improve its academic outcomes, particularly in comparison to statewide averages.
