Delhi High School, Delhi LA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Delhi High School

Delhi High School is the sole public high school serving the town of Delhi, a small rural community in Richland Parish, Louisiana. The school operates as a regular public high school for grades nine through twelve. It sits on Main Street in a town that has seen a steady population decline over several decades and that once centered on a natural gas boom in the mid-twentieth century. The area around the school is highway-oriented, with U.S. Route 80 and Louisiana Highway 17 running through town and Interstate 20 nearby. Housing in the zip code the school draws from is notably below both state and national benchmarks, making this a more affordable market for families. The town itself is small, with a mayor-council government and limited commercial activity.

The student body at Delhi High School is small and predominantly Black, with a much smaller share of White students and a very small number of Hispanic students. A substantial majority of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school in a high-poverty context. This economic profile is consistent with the broader community trends of a town that has experienced sustained population loss. The enrollment is split fairly evenly across the four high school grades, suggesting a stable but small cohort moving through each year.

State assessment data for this school covers grades three through eight, which falls outside the grade band this high school serves. That means the proficiency results available are from feeder schools within the district rather than from Delhi High School itself. A parent looking at overall proficiency across the district for those lower grades would see a picture of low attainment in math, English language arts, science, and social studies, with rates that place the district in the bottom quartile relative to other districts in Richland Parish. For the high school itself, no direct state testing results are available in the data, so a parent may want to inquire with the school about its own high school assessment outcomes. No graduation rate is present in the data either, which is a significant gap for a school that serves grades nine through twelve and should report one. A parent may want to look into this further with the school or the district.

The school operates under the Richland Parish School Board. No information was available about course access, Advanced Placement offerings, dual enrollment programs, or career and technical education pathways at this school. No discipline data, staffing ratios, or attendance figures were provided. The district brief turned up little publicly reported recent change or initiative, so that context is absent rather than filled in. The school's charter and magnet status are both non-applicable; it is a regular public school.

Given the limited direct data on high school outcomes, the picture of Delhi High School is built more from its community and demographic context than from academic metrics. Families moving into the area will find a very small high school in a town with low housing costs, a predominantly Black student body, high economic need, and a broader region that has been losing population over time. The absence of high school testing data and graduation rate means that a clear academic profile for the school itself is not available from the sources at hand. Anyone choosing this school should expect to ask the administration directly about how its students perform on state assessments and how many graduate within four years, as those are basic indicators not documented here.

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
