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.

I would like to change the amount of support that students have. We have good administration, but we don't have someone that students can talk to when needed. Any time that we want to talk to a counselor or someone who works in the office, we need to create an appointment with them. Not having someone that students can talk to at any time of the day can make it hard for students to express their feelings and get their needs met.

My overall experience is good and I had a lot of teachers that encouraged me to succeed. The only problem with it is the fact the some students ruin things for others. I honestly can say that the school and the teachers helped me alot and made me be more ambitious and more confident.

I'd say Seaford High School is an average high school. Besides the lack of teachers, i believe Seaford is a decent place to study at and isn't as bad as locals think it is.

The personal relationships between everyone at the school is the best part. Being able to walk into a class with a teacher who feels...

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.

Our children have both attended Seaford School District from K-12. Both were accepted to some of the top universities in the country as were many of their freinds. There are recent alumni attending and having great success at Stanford, The Naval Academy, Wake Forrest, Penn State, Clemson, LSU, Aubur...
