Summary:
The Delhi Unified school district in California has only one high school, Delhi High. This school serves students in grades 9-12 and has a strong 98.3% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, Delhi High's academic performance, as measured by test scores in English Language Arts/Literacy, Mathematics, and Science, is significantly lower than both the district and state averages.
Delhi High faces some challenges, including a high 20.8% chronic absenteeism rate and a low percentage of students proficient in core academic subjects. The school's dropout rate of 1.7% is lower than the state average, but its test scores have declined over the past two years, with the most significant drop in Science proficiency. These academic struggles may be linked to the high percentage (81.01%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Overall, while Delhi High has some strengths, such as its high graduation rate, the school faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance. The district and school leaders may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to help students achieve at higher levels and address the socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the school's lower test scores.
