High Road School of New Castle County

High Road is an alternative school in Wilmington, Delaware for students who need an alternative placement from public school whether because of behavior or disability. Students are referred by their school district to attend High Road School and each student must have an IEP with an IDEA classified disability.

Since 2004, High Road School of Delaware has been serving students by providing an intensive, structured, individualized special education program aimed at strengthening each student’s academic and organizational skills, social and emotional abilities, sense of responsibility, job skills and self-esteem. Our goal is to get our students to the point where they can successfully reenter comprehensive schools and the community. We accept students from all over the greater New Castle County area.

We have about 39 students from 3rd grade through 12th grade. Students engage in academics, mental health services, social groups, work experiences, transition services, and more. Staff members are all here to help and assist students while being available to assist as needed when students experience difficulties during the school day.
