Summary

Delhi Elementary School in Delhi, LA, is a small PK-5 school serving 167 students within the Richland Parish district, where over 94% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school has faced persistent academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 5th percentile of Louisiana elementary schools for nearly a decade and receiving a 0-star rating from Schooldigger for every year on record. While many schools in the region struggle, Delhi Elementary stands out for its extreme and consistent low performance, particularly in Social Studies, where only 12% of students were proficient—a staggering 43 percentage points below the state average and 30 points below the district average.

One of the most telling comparisons is with Holly Ridge Elementary, located just 8 miles away in the same district. Holly Ridge is a high-performing school (3 stars, 53rd percentile) that significantly outperforms state averages in Math (72%) and ELA (71%), proving that the challenges at Delhi Elementary are not solely due to district resources or regional socioeconomic conditions. The performance gap is stark, with Delhi’s Math proficiency at 40% and ELA at 34% in the most recent year. Additionally, chronic absenteeism at Delhi spiked dramatically from 10.2% in 2021-2022 to 28.9% in 2023-2024, though it improved to 17.4% in 2024-2025—a positive trend that could be a key lever for future academic gains.

There are a few glimmers of hope amid the troubling data. Math proficiency has shown clear improvement, rising from 16% in 2022-2023 to 40% in 2025-2026. However, ELA performance has been erratic, dropping to 24% in 2024-2025 before recovering to 34%. A concerning pattern emerges in grade-level data: 3rd graders perform best in both Math (44%) and ELA (48%), but performance declines sharply by 5th grade, especially in ELA (25%). This suggests the school may struggle to build on foundational skills as students progress. The most promising metric to watch is the recent drop in chronic absenteeism, which, if sustained, could help improve academic outcomes across all subjects.
