Summary:

The Delhi Unified school district in Delhi, California, serves about 2,300 students across five public schools, from kindergarten through 12th grade, all operating in a community with very high economic need.

Among the schools, Harmony Elementary stands out as the district's top performer, with academic scores above state averages and an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.2%. Schendel Elementary has shown impressive recent improvement, while El Capitan Elementary also demonstrates a relative strength in Spanish language proficiency. In contrast, Delhi Middle is the lowest-performing school in the district, representing a significant challenge for student progress.

Delhi High achieves a perfect 100% graduation rate with no dropouts, a major strength, though its math proficiency is very low. Overall, the district's academic scores are below state averages, but the success at Harmony Elementary and the high graduation rate show clear areas of effectiveness that the community can build upon.
