Delhi High

Summary:

Delhi High is a public high school located in Delhi, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 732 students. The school is part of the Delhi Unified School District, which is ranked 1209 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key strengths of Delhi High is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 97.8% to 98.8% over the past five years, which is significantly higher than the state average and compares favorably to the nearby schools like Atwater High and John H. Pitman High. Additionally, the school's dropout rates have been relatively low, ranging from 0.5% to 1.7% over the past five years, which is lower than the state average and most of the nearby schools. However, Delhi High has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 8.0% to 34.0% over the past five years, which is an area of concern as it is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools.

Despite the school's strengths in graduation and dropout rates, Delhi High's academic performance, as measured by test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is consistently lower than the state averages and the scores of nearby schools like Turlock High and Livingston High. For example, in 2023-2024, only 24.24% of 11th-grade students at Delhi High were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 55.73%. This variation in performance may be attributed to the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
