Summary

Delhi Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the small town of Delhi, Louisiana, with an enrollment of 194 students. The school is part of the Richland Parish school district, which is ranked 85 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the same district, Holly Ridge Elementary School and other nearby schools perform significantly better than Delhi Elementary School, which has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana elementary schools over the past decade. Delhi Elementary maintains a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and struggles across various student subgroups, with low academic proficiency in both mathematics and English language arts. The school also faces high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20.1% to 28.9% over the past few years, well above the state average.

The combination of high poverty, with 77.01% to 89.66% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and consistently low academic achievement suggests that Delhi Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. While the data indicates that there is room for improvement, addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational opportunities and outcomes for the students of Delhi Elementary.
