Summary:
ZIP code 46923 (Delphi, Carroll County, Indiana) is home to exactly one high school: Delphi Community High School, a grades 9–12 campus serving 397 students as part of the Delphi Community School Corp. Because the district has only this one high school, district and school figures are identical, so the useful comparisons for families are year over year and school versus state.
The clearest trend is a three-year slide in state ranking: the school fell from 89th of 432 schools (79th percentile, 4 stars) in 2023‑24 to 153rd (64th percentile) in 2024‑25 and 189th of 415 (54th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025‑26. Test results are mixed. Biology was a bright spot at 60.22% proficient in 2024‑25, nearly 15 points above the state's 45.6%, but dropped to 48.91% the following year. SAT Reading held at 48.48% in both years, below the state's 54.5%, and SAT Math is the weakest area at 18.18% — roughly 7 points under the state. The graduation rate of 88.3% is close to Indiana's 89.7%.
The most striking number is chronic absenteeism: 25.3% at the high school, more than double the district's 12.2% and well above the state's 16.7%, suggesting a concentrated attendance problem at the secondary level. Attendance strongly influences both proficiency and graduation. Meanwhile, resources look favorable — 49.1% free/reduced lunch, a 10.9:1 student-teacher ratio, and $13,161 spent per student — so the challenges appear tied less to class size or funding than to attendance and math instruction. Families should note the trends are directional, based on a single school and two years of test data.
