Summary

Delhi Middle is a public school serving 367 students in grades 7–8 in Delhi, California, and is part of Delhi Unified. The clearest concern for families is academic performance: in 2025–26, 30% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 15% in math and 14% in science. Each result was below state and district rates, making academic results the school’s most important challenge.

Compared with nine nearby schools, Delhi Middle had the lowest ELA and science results and the second-lowest math result; its scores were about 10 points below the nearby-school average in ELA, 8 points below in math and 8 points below in science. Math showed the largest gap from state and district results: 24 points below the state and 13 below the district. Grade 8 math is a particular concern: 7% were proficient, compared with 22% in grade 7, and only Denair Middle scored lower among the ten schools. There are positive signs in other measures: the 2025–26 chronic absenteeism rate was 12%, below the state’s 18% and district’s 12%; only Hilmar Middle had a lower rate nearby. Its 17.5 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25 was also the lowest among nearby schools with reported figures.

Results have moved in different directions over time. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA proficiency rose 7 points and its gap with the state narrowed by 4 points, while math fell 3 points and science rose 2; the gaps with the state widened by 7 points in math and 3 in science. SchoolDigger placed the school at the 16th percentile with one star in 2025–26, the lowest percentile in this nearby group and 16 points below its 2018–19 percentile. As context, 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Special Education Students fell from the 52nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 8th in 2025–26, while its overall percentile was 16. Its ranking for how well it serves English Language Learner Students also declined, from the 57th percentile in 2021–22 to the 30th in 2023–24.
