"A total of 8,700 students from the Christina district attend non-district schools. That’s 38 percent — far more than any other district."

I'm willing to bet for the high school portion of that 8700, 90 percent of that is in vo-tech. Guaranteed.

Time for that district to fold. Too many 6 figure administrators killed that district. Failed referendums and poor decisions by lawmakers took its toll. I’d home school my kids before sending them to any of those schools.

The public school system in northern new castle county needs a complete overhaul, before its too late.

Might be too late already - there's a committee in place recommending that there only be one school district per county, which is stupid as hell.

When is Newark Charter going to have a football team ?

Beyond the flight to charter schools, about 1,800 Christina residents attend New Castle County’s four vocational-technical schools – Howard, Delcastle, Hodgson and St. George’s. That number has been slowly rising.

Another 1,400 have “choiced” out of Christina to other schools in other districts, such as Red Clay’s Wilmington Charter, Cab Calloway School of the Arts, A.I. du Pont high and middle schools, Delaware Military Academy and Conrad Schools of Science.

Government subsidized white flight. That's all it is plain and simple. That's what charters have accomplished. Oddesey, DMA, Conrad, Wilm. Charter/Cab, Newark Charter, MOT Charter. Check out the numbers before you jump me....

Whats the make up of Delcastle? How come they haven't been able to accomplish anywhere near what the other three have athletically?

Exactly, but all the schools you mentioned are classified DII for football. Charter is still considered DI..........which is a joke.
