Wyoming is a small rural suburb outside of Dover, and as such, sends its children into the Caesar Rodney School District. In such a large district, Wyoming stands out as a fantastic town for families with one of the best elementary schools in the state — the WB Simpson School.
The Caesar Rodney School District is again the star of the show in Camden, where the district's high school is based. This rural town has just under 4,000 people, which makes it twice as large as neighboring Wyoming.
Lewes is home to the Cape Henlopen School District, featuring Richard A. Shields Elementary School, Beacon Middle School, and Cape Henlopen High School. All three are top performers in a state known for excellent primary education.
As part of the Cape Henlopen School District, Rehoboth Beach's elementary schools are among the top-ranked in the state. The hands-on education experience here takes advantage of the close proximity to bays and beaches to offer a unique approach to understanding the world around us.
Middletown's Appoquinimink District is consistently ranked at the top of Delaware's districts, and Middletown High School is one of the largest schools in the state. Despite its size, the school is considered one of the best in Delaware, as are the neighborhood primary schools.
Smyrna's school district is one of the top districts in the state. Despite the town's larger size, smaller classroom size and high performances make it one of the best districts in Delaware.
Cape Henlopen School District is one of the best in the state, and when you live in Milton, your kids will attend the well-regarded Mariner Middle School. That school, along with Cape Henlopen High School, are two of the best in the state.
