GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Its one of the best public schools, if not the best public school in Delaware. They have lots of funding. The culture is great, many students have lots of school pride and going to games is always fun.

Teachers think they're great but the quality of teachers is below average. It's a good building not a good school. If you're looking for a good district for your kids to study in, try sussex academy.
