Seaford Senior High School's mission is to instill in our students a sense of pride through excellence, enabling them to be good citizens, contributing members of society, and to successfully compete in a global economy.
Students can choose from an array of academic courses from college-prep to Advanced Placement to prepare them for the college/university of their choosing. Teachers on the secondary level use the curriculum mapping process to align our content with the Delaware Content Standards, articulate instruction from grades 6–12, and coordinate assignments at each grade level.
For the graduating class of 2010 (the most recent class for which information is available), students taking the SAT scored an average of 474 in math and 460 in verbal for a combined score of 934.[1] This is compared with averages of 482+479=961 throughout the state and 516+501=1017 nationally.[2]
