Suburban; public: ~1200 kids: 46% Black, 45% White. Some Hispanics; only a handful of Asians. 86% graduation rate. 44% are low income and on free or reduced lunch plan. Rated as the best public HS in Delaware and 3rd best overall in the state, and made the Newsweek “America’s Best High Schools” list from 2008-2010 and 2012. Was the first school in the state to establish an IB Program, which enrolls about 300 kids in total. Only 9 APs since most of the high achieving kids are in IB and don’t have room on their schedules to take APs. Most kids end up going to the local CC, the University of Delaware, or random state schools, but 1-3 kids per year end up going to Ivies, and a handful end up going to other top 40 schools.
