National city placement

Lean reported-resource profile

According to NCES CCD 2024-25, Wilmington has more public-school enrollment than 27% of the 4,487 US cities in this directory. Wilmington's average Resource Investment Index falls in the lower portion of the 4,487-city comparison set. The index is a resource snapshot, not an academic grade: it reflects the federal staffing, counselor, gifted-program, and attendance fields available for local campuses. The most useful next step is to open the individual schools below and identify which component is pulling each score down, because the same city average can hide very different campus-level constraints.

A full K–12 ladder sits inside the city boundary

Wilmington's list includes 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 2 high-school campuses, plus 1 combined-grade record. The city average spans every major grade stage, so the ranked table is more informative when read within level than as one interchangeable queue.

Campus spread matters more than the city mean

The 35-point gap between East End Elementary School and Roy E Holmes Elementary School shows the range hidden by Wilmington's average Resource Investment Index. The city figure is useful for national placement, but families ultimately choose among campuses with different grade spans, enrollment, district affiliations, and reported support fields. Start with schools serving the relevant grade level, then compare the index components rather than assuming the city average describes any one classroom.

Laurel Oaks Cdc accounts for 24.6% of all Wilmington public-school enrollment

That concentration means Wilmington-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade level: High. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how districts allocate programs, capital, or staff. Enrollment-weighted aggregates give this entity more weight than any smaller peer, while an unweighted entity average treats every record equally.

Wilmington school enrollment varies 9.2× across entities

Wilmington school enrollment ranges from 77 students (lowest) to 710 students (highest), a spread of 633 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous school portfolio for a city this size. Per-school staffing and program breadth can differ sharply at opposite ends of that enrollment range, so the city average should not be treated as a typical campus.

Wilmington student-teacher ratio is 17.9:1 — near the typical range (US average ~15.7) — citywide staffing is neither unusually lean nor unusually crowded by this measure

student-teacher ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE classroom teachers against total enrollment, push-in specialists, English-language aides, special-education co-teachers, and counselors are not included in most reporting Variation between sub-units within Wilmington is typically wider than the Wilmington-aggregate figure suggests.
