Families should not have to search across multiple websites to understand Delaware’s public schools. Public information should be easy to find, easy to understand, and clearly connected wherever people access it.

Today, the Delaware Department of Education launched Explore Delaware Schools, a new public portal that brings together school information, attendance boundaries, available school profile and performance information, and interactive mapping tools into one place. The site provides a trusted starting point for families exploring school options and learning more about Delaware’s public schools. The portal establishes the foundation for a more connected public experience as additional education resources, reporting tools, and validated public information are integrated over time.

Explore Delaware Schools reflects the department’s broader commitment to making public information more transparent, more accessible, and easier to use. Over time, information about Delaware schools has expanded across multiple reports, websites, and tools. This new portal provides one front door where families and community members can begin their search with confidence.

“Families deserve one trusted starting point to understand their public schools,” Secretary of Education Cindy Marten said. “Our responsibility is not simply to publish information. It is to make that information understandable, accessible, and useful. When people spend less time searching for answers, they spend more time making informed decisions for their children.”

The portal allows users to:

• Find schools based on a home address.
• Explore school profiles and attendance boundaries.
• Access available school profile and performance information.
• Connect to additional public education resources and statewide reporting.

“Good government begins with public trust,” Marten said. “That trust grows when families know where to go, can navigate information clearly, and have confidence that what they’re reading is accurate. This is another step toward making Delaware’s public education system easier to navigate and more responsive to the people we serve.”

Explore Delaware Schools is designed first for families and also serves educators, community organizations, policymakers, and anyone seeking information about Delaware’s public schools. Whether someone is enrolling a child in kindergarten, moving to a new community, or learning more about school profiles and available performance information, the portal provides a clear starting point. It is part of Delaware’s broader effort to make public education information more connected, more understandable, and more useful for families over time.

Families, educators, and community members are encouraged to visit Explore Delaware Schools and discover the resources available to help them better understand Delaware’s public schools: https://explore.education.delaware.gov.
