The focus at Selbyville Middle School is to provide the best possible teaching and learning experiences for its students.

Increasing the amount of time educators have to plan, collaborate, and participate in Professional Learning Communities has been paramount to the success in staying true to the focus of the school and student learning.

School leaders have worked to provide educators and students with technology to be used in revolutionary teaching and learning experiences through the implementation of a strong blended learning model. Selbyville Middle School was named a Recognition School for the state of Delaware for Exceptional Student Performance becoming the only secondary school in the state to earn such distinction. Strong parental, community, and District support fosters an educational environment that addresses the development of the whole child.
