Summary

Delhi Middle School is a public middle school in Delhi, Louisiana, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 99 students. The school is part of the Richland Parish school district, which is ranked 85 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delhi Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Louisiana middle schools, with academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 19% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 47% in the Richland Parish district and 60% statewide. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is slightly better, with 36% of all students proficient or better, but still lags behind the district (56%) and state (70%) averages. Delhi Middle School also struggles with high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, with rates significantly above the state average.

Nearby schools, such as Rayville Junior High School and Madison Middle School, perform similarly to Delhi Middle School, with low academic achievement and high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Delhi Middle School, ranging from 70.65% to 80.65% in recent years, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the school's persistent underperformance compared to state and district averages.
