Summary:
Zip code 46923 has just one elementary school: Delphi Community Elementary School, which serves grades PK–5 to 625 students as part of the Delphi Community School Corp. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there are no in-zip peers to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own past performance. The school currently holds 2 stars and ranks 606th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools (40th percentile) for 2025–2026, up from 681st of 1,005 (32nd percentile) the year before — a steady upward trend, though it still sits below the middle of the state overall.
Attendance is the clearest strength. Chronic absenteeism is 8.6%, well below the district's 12.2% and far below the state's 16.7%, which is notable at a school where 56.96% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Math and science also look solid when compared with the district: all-grade math proficiency is 40.43% versus the district's 34.38%, and all-grade science is 50.0% versus 44.57%. Fourth-grade science, at 50.0%, tops the state's 43.8%, and fourth-grade math, at 56.1%, beats the state's 52.0%. Year over year, all reported subjects improved, with science rising from 34.02% to 50.0%.
The main concern is English Language Arts. All-grade ELA is 27.56%, below the district's 30.45%, and every tested grade trails the state: 3rd grade 25.96% versus 40.8%, 4th grade 30.49% versus 42.2%, and 5th grade 26.8% versus 42.2%. Math is also uneven by grade — 5th-grade math is just 23.71% against the state's 42.0%, a sharp drop from 4th grade's 56.1%. Fifth-grade social studies, at 45.36%, is close to the state's 47.2%. For context, per-student spending is $9,205 and the student-teacher ratio is 15.1.
