Small town school, great teachers who care and are always digging into their own pockets. They have great programs and recognize when a child is in need of more help academically or more stimulation so the don't get board!

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Delaware used the Delaware Student Testing Program (DSTP) to test students in reading and math in grades 2 through 10, in writing in grades 3 through 10, and in science and social studies in grades 4, 6, 8 and 11. The scores for social studies in grades 4 and 6 are not shown on GreatSchools profiles.
