Summary:
The Delaware Community School Corp district in Indiana has only one middle school, Delta Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While Delta Middle School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking over the past three years, its academic performance is mixed compared to district and state averages.
Delta Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (42.14%) and Math (40.97%) are lower than the district averages (45.49% and 49.7%, respectively). However, the school's Science proficiency rate (52.11%) is higher than the district average (52.73%). The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is a potential area of concern. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (50.72% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite these challenges, Delta Middle School has improved its statewide ranking from 169th out of 489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 130th out of 480 in 2024-2025. The school's administration and the Delaware Community School Corp district may need to focus on improving the school's core academic areas, addressing chronic absenteeism, and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students to continue this upward trend.
