Delhi Elementary School

Summary:

Delhi Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Delhi, Louisiana, with a student population of 203. The school is part of the Richland Parish school district, which is ranked 83 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Delhi Elementary School consistently performs significantly below the Richland Parish and Louisiana state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 6% of 3rd graders and 23% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 47% and 50% in Richland Parish, and 62% and 59% statewide. The school's performance in English Language Arts is also low, with only 12% of 3rd graders and 31% of 5th graders reaching proficiency, compared to 45% and 59% in Richland Parish, and 66% and 70% statewide. Delhi Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (over 91%) compared to the nearby schools, and a very high percentage of students (over 89%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the challenges faced by Delhi Elementary School, the nearby schools, such as Rayville Elementary and Holly Ridge Elementary, perform significantly better than Delhi Elementary on standardized tests, despite serving similar student populations in terms of socioeconomic status and racial makeup. This highlights the potential for improvement at Delhi Elementary if the right strategies and resources are implemented. However, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Louisiana, with a ranking between 671 and 718 out of 675-730 schools in recent years, and has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, suggesting that the school may be facing significant challenges in addressing the educational needs of its students.

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.
