What this school's NCES data tells you
Delhi Middle School reports 524 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 30.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 17.9:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 2% below the Ohio state mean of 18.3:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.9:1, it is 13% higher, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

The free-lunch share is 21% above the Ohio average and 26% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 524 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 45.2% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
