About Darlington College

Darlington College is a 16-99 state secondary in Darlington, North East, and its headline metrics place it in an unusual position relative to the local authority average. The LA average Progress 8 score for secondary schools in Darlington is -0.34, which is below the national average. Darlington College does not have a published Progress 8 score in its data, so a direct comparison isn't possible, but the school's ranking among its local peers is revealing. It sits below Hurworth School (ranking score 0.12) and above Wyvern Academy (0.01) and Polam Hall School (-0.05). This suggests that while it isn't the top performer in the area, it is comfortably ahead of the lowest-ranked schools. The LA has only one Outstanding-rated secondary among its ten schools, which is Carmel College, located 2.9 km away. Darlington College's own Ofsted rating is not provided in the data, so its quality relative to that Outstanding benchmark remains unclear.
