The best Delaware high schools for athletes? According to one study, these are top 25

[ASFN Admin]

Tucked away on the East Coast, one of the smallest states has had a sizeable impact on the national sports scene.

Elena Delle Donne, one of the GOATs of women’s basketball, dominated the hardwood as a high school athlete, breaking Delaware’s points record. Chris Godwin, who has been a Pro Bowler and won a Super Bowl, was a top WR recruit and won two championships as a Delaware high schooler. Delino DeShields, a former MLB player, committed to LSU for both baseball and football.

Home to just 99 schools over its 2,489 square miles, Delaware has produced quite a bit of talent. Which high school is best for athletes?

That’s what one survey attempted to answer. Niche used survey results from students and parents and data from the U.S. Department of Education to rank the top 25.
