School Selection Process

  • Overview: The Redding Consortium Educator Work Group researched, drafted, and submitted recommendations, approved by the full Consortium, to the Delaware Governor and General Assembly in December 2020. The state has since funded these recommendations to support educational initiatives that will achieve educational equity and improve educational outcomes for Pre-K-12 students in the city of Wilmington and northern New Castle County.
  • Criteria: The Educator Work Group set criteria for selection through their recommendations to identify schools in the city of Wilmington with a high percentage of students from low-income families (schools with a 50-percent threshold or above), English language learners, and students with disabilities. To determine which Wilmington schools met this criteria, the Educator Work Group used data from the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) State School Annual Report Card published in 2020.
  • Additional Redding Schools: Since 2020, the Redding Consortium has added two city of Wilmington schools, P.S. DuPont Middle School and Pulaski Early Education Center, to the list of eligible Redding schools. Consortium members requested that these city schools be added to the list. The full body considered and approved the additions of these schools to the Redding schools list.  

Definition of a High Needs School: the definition of a “high needs school” uses the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) definition, and describes schools in the top quartile among either elementary or secondary schools in three or more of the following areas: 

  • Percent low-income students 
  • Percent English Language Learner students,
  • Percent Students with Disabilities,

  • OR if the school has if the school has more than 90% of their students classified as low income, ELL, or underrepresented minority.
