Summary:
Delphi, Indiana is served by a single public middle school: Delphi Community Middle School, which teaches grades 6–8 to 289 students at 401 Armory Rd and belongs to Delphi Community School Corp.
The school's clearest strength is attendance. For 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was just 2.6%, compared with 12.2% for the district and 16.7% statewide — roughly one-fifth of the district rate and about one-sixth of the state rate. That is notable given the school's context: 56.75% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $10,311, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.9 students per teacher. On state rankings, the school sits squarely in the middle of Indiana middle schools, holding a 2-star rating and landing around the 44th–46th percentile over the last three reported years (264 of 486 in 2025–2026, 271 of 480 in 2024–2025, and 272 of 491 in 2023–2024). That mirrors the district's own position of 203 of 374, 46th percentile, 2 stars.
Academically, results are mixed. English language arts is a relative bright spot, with the school's all-grade proficiency above the district's in both reported years — 33.22% vs. 30.45% in 2025–2026 and 31.25% vs. 29.09% in 2024–2025. Math trails the district in both years (28.57% vs. 34.38%, and 26.74% vs. 31.06%). Science is harder to read: the school scored 48.96% in 2024–2025 against the district's 41.45%, but 40.2% in 2025–2026 against 44.57%, and that 2025–2026 figure matches the 6th-grade science score, suggesting a different tested cohort rather than a simple decline. Every reported grade-level subject score falls below the state average, with the largest gaps in 6th-grade ELA (28.16% vs. 41.3%) and 8th-grade math (21.65% vs. 34.2%), which is also the school's weakest grade-level result.
