High Schools in Delta C-7

Delta C-7 High School is the sole high school serving grades 7-12 in the Delta C-7 school district, which is ranked 332 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. With an enrollment of 102 students, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, student engagement, and economic disadvantage.

While Delta C-7 High School has a higher-than-average four-year graduation rate of 93.3%, its test scores are consistently lower than the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 8th grade Math, the school's proficiency rate is 11.2% compared to the state average of 32.7%. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 58.82%, suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and outcomes.

Despite the higher spending per student of $12,977, which is above the state average, and the school's lower student-teacher ratio of 11.7, the academic performance remains low. This indicates that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Delta C-7 High School will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader Delta C-7 community.
