Delhi High School

Summary:

Delhi High School is a public high school serving 201 students in grades 9-12 in Delhi, Louisiana. The school is part of the Richland Parish school district, which is ranked 83 out of 122 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delhi High School faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 90.55% African American and a very high percentage of students (59.49% to 78.03%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance is consistently in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana high schools, with proficiency rates on end-of-course exams that are significantly lower than the Richland Parish and Louisiana state averages. For example, in Algebra I, Delhi High School's proficiency rate was 47%, compared to 52% for Rayville High School and the Richland Parish average of 62%.

The school's struggles are particularly pronounced for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who consistently rank in the bottom 15-20% of Louisiana high schools. Additionally, Delhi High School's student-teacher ratio is relatively high, ranging from 16.9 to 19.2 over the past few years, which may impact the level of individual attention and support available to students. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
