Summary

Delaware Academy High School is a public high school located in Delhi, New York, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 403 students. The school is part of the Delaware Academy Central School District at Delhi, which is ranked 263 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delaware Academy High School consistently performs well on state assessments and Regents exams, often outperforming the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in subjects like Algebra II (95.83% vs. 74.88%), Chemistry (81.48% vs. 64.53%), and Living Environment (86.57% vs. 56.7%). The school has also maintained a strong 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.3% to 96.3% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.2% to 34.1%, could be an area for improvement.

When compared to the nearby Unatego Junior-Senior High School and Oneonta Senior High School, Delaware Academy High School generally outperforms these schools on academic measures, such as Regents exam proficiency rates and graduation rates. However, Unatego and Oneonta have lower chronic absenteeism rates, which could be an area of focus for Delaware Academy. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has fluctuated over the years, ranging from $14,396 to $29,717 per student, which may impact the school's ability to provide resources and support for its students.
