Summary:
The Delphi Community School Corp district in Indiana consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the Delphi Community High School is a standout performer, ranking in the top 25% of Indiana high schools with a 4-star rating, the Delphi Community Elementary School and Delphi Community Middle School struggle in several key areas.
The high school boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 88.4% and outperforms the district and state averages in Biology EOC, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT Math. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools have low proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math, often 10-20 percentage points below the state averages. However, the middle school stands out with its strong performance in ILEARN Science, where 48.96% of students are proficient or better.
Across the district, there is a concerning high rate of chronic absenteeism, at 17.8% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the elementary and middle schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, around 55%, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The district may benefit from a closer examination of the factors contributing to these disparities and a targeted approach to improving student outcomes across all grade levels.
