| | Charter School Of Wilmington - Wilmington, Delaware/DE - Public School Profile |
 | | The Charter School of Wilmington was chartered by the Red Clay Consolidated School District, and was directly descended from the 'Academy of Mathematics and Science', an earlier (now defunct) math and science magnet school run by the Red Clay School District. |
 | | Critics of the school claim that the admissions process violates state law, which states in part that charter schools must fill seats with the assistance of a blind lottery after certain criteria have been met. |
 | | School representatives claim that a clause in the law allows the school to give preferential treatment to students who show "a specific interest in the school's teaching methods, philosophy, or educational focus", expressed through performance in school, teacher recommendations, and on the admissions assessment. |
