History

The Charter School of Wilmington was chartered by the Red Clay Consolidated School District to replace the Academy of Mathematics and Science magnet school and opened in 1996.[5] Today, the school is operated by a consortium of six companies: AstraZeneca, Verizon, Delmarva Power, DuPont, Hercules Incorporated, and Christiana Care Health System.[6] It is a member of the National Consortium of Secondary STEM Schools, a group of around 100 high schools, as well as affiliates such as colleges and universities, summer programs, foundations, and corporations.[7][8]

Academics

Students look over a UD MATH 243 problem after school.

In 2021,U.S. News & World Report ranked it #74 of nearly 18,000 high schools considered and Newsweek ranked it #94 of STEM schools nationwide.[2][9] In 2013, CSW was given a Recognition School award from the Delaware Department of Education for exceptional performance and in 2013 and 2019, the US Department of Education named them a National Blue Ribbon School.[10][11][12] In June 2014, CSW's Jefferson Awards Council was given the Outstanding Service for Jefferson Council Volunteer award.[13]

Students also have the option of taking classes such as visual arts, drama, and music at Cab Calloway School of the Arts, who they share a building with.[14] They also have the opportunity to dual enroll at the University of Delaware.[15] During their junior year, students must complete a research project for the science fair.[16] Sophomores take Introduction to Scientific Research to prepare for this annual event.[16] These research projects were assigned to Sophomores prior to the 2023-2024 school year.

Students

In 2020 White students make large proportions of the student body and about 30% of the students were Asian American.[2] Fewer than 8% of the student bodies combined from this school and Cab Calloway School of the Arts reside in the City of Wilmington, and fewer than 3% are Wilmington residents who are black and/or Hispanic/Latino or multiracial.[17] Barrish and Eichmann wrote that an Asian American suburban student living in an "affluent" area "is a fairly typical Charter of Wilmington student."[17]

Extra-curriculars

Students have the option of joining concert band and marching band, of which are associated with Cab Calloway School of the Arts.[14]
