Rehoboth Elementary School received national recognition because it saw improvements in standardized test scores by students with disabilities, students from low-income households and students from racial minority groups. The award, being named a National ESEA Distinguished School, was created by the 1965 Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Three other Cape Henlopen district schools also earned state recognition.
