Summary

Delhi High School is a small, rural high school in Delhi, LA, serving 139 students in grades 9 through 12 within the Richland Parish School District, where over 83% of students face economic disadvantage.

The school’s biggest challenge is a severe chronic absenteeism crisis, with 47.8% of students missing significant school in 2023-2024—more than double the rate at nearby Rayville High School (22.9%) and well above Madison High School (31.0%). While this rate improved to 28.3% in 2024-2025, it remains the highest among peer schools and above the state average. This absenteeism directly impacts academics, contributing to a graduation rate of just 74.4%—lower than both Rayville (79.1%) and Madison (81.6%)—and volatile test scores. For example, Algebra I proficiency dropped from 47% to 24% in one year. The school’s small size means a single cohort can dramatically shift metrics, making it hard to gauge program effectiveness.

Despite these struggles, Delhi High School shows a notable strength in English I, where 48% of students scored proficient in 2025-2026—matching Madison High School and surpassing Rayville (36%) and the district average (40%). Additionally, the school serves male students relatively well, ranking in the 22nd percentile statewide, while female students rank in the bottom 3rd percentile. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.7:1, the school has an opportunity to replicate its English I success and target interventions to improve attendance and support for all students.
