Southgate-Rippetoe has low academic performance, with only 15% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 17% in Mathematics, compared to 35% and 34% for the Moore district, respectively. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.3% to 25.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.
