Summary

Delphi Community Elementary School is a PK–5 school serving 625 students in Delphi, a small town in Carroll County, Indiana, and part of the Delphi Community School Corp. For 2025–2026, it ranks 606th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (40th percentile) with 2 stars, while the district ranks 203rd of 374 districts. That reflects a long slide: from 2015–2016 through 2017–2018 the school held 3 stars and mid-50s to mid-60s percentiles, and since 2018–2019 it has mostly stayed in the 30s–40s. The 2025–2026 result is a modest rebound from 2024–2025, when it fell to 681st of 1,005 (32nd percentile).

Academically, the clearest weakness is reading and language arts. All-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 27.56% — the lowest among the 11 nearby schools compared and below the district's 30.45%. Grade-level ELA trails the state at every tested grade (3rd: 25.96% vs 40.8%; 4th: 30.49% vs 42.2%; 5th: 26.8% vs 42.2%). Math (40.43%) beats the district's 34.38% but sits near the bottom of the nearby group, and science (50%) is a genuine bright spot, above both the district and the 4th-grade state figure of 43.8%. The most striking pattern is the 4th-to-5th grade contrast: 4th-grade math (56.1%) and science (50%) exceed state levels, while 5th-grade math is just 23.71% against a state mark of 42%.

Among neighbors, Delphi sits in a mid-low cluster with Oaklawn Elementary School (605th) and Carroll Elementary School (607th), both also 2 stars, and above Meadowlawn Elementary School (671st). Frontier Elementary (500th) and Glen Acres Elementary School (511th) rank somewhat higher, while Rossville Elementary School, Wyandotte Elementary, Battle Ground Elementary School, and Hershey Elementary School are far ahead, from the 73rd to the 89th percentile. Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism is 8.6%, better than the district's 12.2% and the state's 16.7%. About 56.96% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, more than several higher-performing neighbors, and per-student spending of $9,205 is the lowest in the comparison group, alongside a favorable 15.1 student–teacher ratio. Note that grade spans differ (K–4, PK–5, PK–6), so grade-level comparisons are more dependable than all-grade ones.
