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.

Some teachers are good but the students are uncooperative and the school has no authority over them, I almost failed some classes due to bad teachers and overall would not recommend.

The students at this school either don't care about their academics, or lack total respect for authority. Test scores are the lowest in the entire state, and sports are also some of the worst in the state. This school is facing a downward trend, no improvements have been made.
2.0 Junior
8/9/2019
As a junior attending seaford Senior High school I can say the effort students put into their academics is poor, students go to the school to start drama and skip class, the teachers do not care, some teachers shouldn't even be teachers, students put in no effort. About 20-30 percent of the students actually care about their education.

One of the worst schools in Delaware. Extremely low ratings. Do not make the mistake of sending your child here. Teachers don’t care if respond to emails. Bad kids at school. Teachers don’t do anything about the huge drug issue at school.
