Summary

Delhi Charter School in Delhi, LA, is a K-12 public charter school serving 618 students in a rural area with no other schools within 20 miles, operating as its own Delhi Charter School district.

This school stands out for its exceptional ability to keep students on track to graduation. With a graduation rate of 88.7% in 2024-2025—well above the state average of 85.0%—and a dropout rate of just 1.3% compared to the state's 3.1%, the school demonstrates a strong commitment to student retention. Chronic absenteeism is also lower than the state average (16.4% vs. 22.5%), suggesting students are engaged and attending regularly. A remarkable turnaround story is the recovery from a pandemic-era dropout rate of 21.6% in 2019-2020 to its current low level, showing resilience and effective support systems. However, academic proficiency on state tests generally lags behind Louisiana averages, particularly in Math (42% vs. 62% state) and Social Studies (43% vs. 55% state).

A notable bright spot is English Language Arts (ELA), where the school matches or exceeds state proficiency in several grades—for example, 7th graders scored 75% vs. the state's 71%, and 8th graders scored 71% vs. 69%. This suggests a strong literacy program. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 77.35% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch in 2024-2025, and maintains a moderate student-teacher ratio of 15.9:1. While the school excels at supporting students through to graduation, the gap between its strong retention metrics and below-average test scores indicates a need to focus on boosting academic rigor, especially in math and social studies, to ensure graduates are fully prepared for college or careers.
