Delhi Middle School

Summary:

Delhi Middle School is a small public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Delhi, Louisiana, with a student population of just 93 students. 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 Middle School faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to the Richland Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 20% of Delhi Middle School students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 45% in Richland Parish and 59% statewide. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Louisiana middle schools, with a ranking between 336 and 443 out of 411 to 465 schools over the past several years. This places it among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state, particularly for African American students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the nearby Madison Middle School and Rayville Junior High School also underperform compared to state averages, they have higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings than Delhi Middle School. This suggests that Delhi Middle School may face unique challenges that are not shared by all schools in the region, such as a high student-teacher ratio, a declining racial diversity, and a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.65% to 86.73% over the past three school years.

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.
