Delhi High scores 46 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 52nd percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

CDE CAASPP 2025

Most rating sites would stop at “29% proficient” and call it done. Delhi deserves a closer read. The school sits in Delhi, where four in five students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.

The headline number: 31.5% of English learners reached the top ELPAC level, versus 18.0% statewide.

Worth a school visit

Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.

  • Ask what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into it.
  • Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
  • Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
  • Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
