Delphi Community School Corp

Delphi Community School Corp serves about 1,311 students in Delphi, Indiana, across three schools covering grades PK–12: Delphi Community Elementary School (PK–5, 625 students), Delphi Community Middle School (6–8, 289 students), and Delphi Community High School (9–12, 397 students). No alternative school is listed. The district ranks 203 of 374 in Indiana — the 46th percentile with 2 stars — placing it mid-pack statewide.

Each school looks different. The high school has the strongest academic ranking (189/415, 54th percentile, 3 stars) and the most resources — $13,161 per student and a 10.9 student-teacher ratio — plus the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 49.12%. But it also has the district's highest chronic absenteeism at 25.3%, above the district's 12.2% and the state's 16.7%, and its SAT Math proficiency is 18.18% versus the state's 25.6%. Its rank has slipped from 4 stars and 79th percentile in 2023–24. The middle school is the attendance standout at 2.6% chronic absenteeism, far better than both the district and state, with a steady rank near the 44th–46th percentile. The elementary school has the lowest spending ($9,205) and highest student-teacher ratio (15.1), but 4th-grade math (56.1%) and 4th-grade science (50.0%) both beat state averages.

Weak spots to note: elementary ELA is below the district and state at grades 3, 4, and 5, and 5th-grade math is 23.71% versus the state's 42.0%; middle school 8th-grade math is 21.65% versus 34.2%. Science is uneven — elementary rose to 50.0%, while middle fell from 48.96% to 40.2% and high school Biology dropped from 60.22% to 48.91%. Graduation is close to the state at 88.3%.
