The Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) recently reported continued statewide progress in graduation rates and English language growth among multilingual learners.

Delaware’s four-year graduation rate reached 89% in 2025, continuing a four-year upward trend and surpassing the pre-pandemic rate of 86.7% in 2019. The statewide rate has steadily increased from 87% in 2022 to 87.8% in 2023 and 88.9% in 2024.

The state also saw continued improvement among multilingual learners. In 2026, students achieved an average of 48.6% of their individual English language growth targets, compared with 46% in 2025 and 42.8% in 2024. These targets measure each student’s progress toward English proficiency based on their individual starting point.

Woodbridge School District showed particularly strong growth in this area. Woodbridge multilingual learners achieved an average of 59.4% of their individual growth targets in 2026, up from 53.1% in 2025. This placed Woodbridge’s progress above the statewide average of 48.6%.

The graduation and English language progress measures are part of the Delaware School Success Framework, which provides a broader picture of student and school performance across the state.
