Schools in Delphi, IN

Delphi, Indiana is served by a single public school district, Delphi Community School Corp, which enrolls about 1,311 students across three schools: one elementary (PK–5), one middle (6–8), and one high school (9–12). The district sits near the middle of Indiana's districts at the 46th percentile with 2 stars, but its three schools differ meaningfully from one another.

Delphi Community High School is the highest-ranked school in the district (189 of 415, 54th percentile, 3 stars) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.9) and highest per-student spending ($13,161). However, it also has the most serious attendance problem, with 25.3% chronic absenteeism — above both the district's 12.2% and the state's 16.7% — and its rank has fallen from the 79th percentile in 2023–24 to the 54th percentile in 2025–26. Only 18.18% of 11th graders met proficiency in SAT Math, versus 25.6% statewide. By contrast, Delphi Community Middle School has exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at 2.6%, far below district and state rates, though its academics are around the district median and math and science lag the state.

Delphi Community Elementary School is the largest school at 625 students, has the highest student-teacher ratio (15.1) and lowest per-student spending ($9,205), and ranks lowest among the three (40th percentile, 2 stars) — though it improved from the 32nd percentile the prior year. Its results are uneven: 4th-grade math (56.1%) and science (50%) exceed state averages, while ELA is below the state in every tested grade, and 5th-grade math is just 23.71% against the state's 42%. Overall, the district offers strong attendance at the elementary and middle levels, a best-ranked but declining high school with attendance concerns, and wide variation among its three schools.
