Red Clay Consolidated School District

Red Clay Consolidated School District organizes its traditional campuses into a K–5 elementary, grades 6–8 middle, and grades 9–12 high school progression, alongside a K–8 configuration at Brandywine Springs. For specialized arts and sciences, Cab Calloway School of the Arts and Conrad Schools of Science serve grades 6–12 with focused curricula in visual and performing arts and life sciences.

Families applying through Delaware School Choice submit applications for the 2027–28 school year between November 2, 2026, and January 13, 2027. The district publishes school-specific hub-stop transportation maps so families can evaluate bus routes before finalizing their choices.

The planned secondary redesign and McKean Innovation Center are scheduled to launch in August 2028 following a school board extension. For the 2027–28 school year, McKean High School and Dickinson's Middle Years Programme continue welcoming incoming students under their existing formats.
