The other (2) two reviews are not up to date so I would probably think that AI Dupont Middle School was a better school back then. I am a parent that knows the importance of education so I try to be as flexible as possible when it comes to my children. I do not find that the Administration includes the parents when situations come up. They wait until a matter has escalated before they obtain parent involvement and fail to hand out warnings, as well. This school is more reactive than proactive. Many people believe that the name "Dupont" makes a difference but that is so untrue. The bottom line is, "I would not recommend sending your children at AI Dupont Middle School"! Let me also add that I am also an Administrator at another school district so I am well aware of the dynamics when it comes to a single school culture.

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. The DSTP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Delaware. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
