Summary:
Delhi Unified School District contains one middle school, Delhi Middle, serving grades 7-8 with 367 students in a high-poverty area where over 86% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
Academic performance at Delhi Middle is significantly below both the Delhi Unified district and California state averages across all core subjects, with mathematics proficiency at 15.62% being less than half the state average. The school's statewide ranking has also declined, dropping to the 16th percentile. However, the school maintains a notable strength in student attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.6%, which is better than the state average.
Despite overall low scores, the school shows relative pockets of performance in Spanish language skills, with listening and writing scores closer to state averages than other subjects. Per-student spending is above $18,000 and the student-teacher ratio is 17.5 to 1, indicating resources are available. The data suggests the school faces substantial academic challenges common in its high-poverty context, but its better attendance and specific Spanish assessment results could be areas to build upon for improvement.
