Summary:

The city of Redfield, South Dakota is home to a single middle school, Redfield Middle School - 02, which serves students in grades 6-8. With a relatively small student population of 103, the school has faced some challenges in recent years, including a declining statewide ranking and underperforming test scores compared to the state average.

Redfield Middle School - 02's test proficiency rates in English Language Arts (40%) and Math (36.67%) fall below the South Dakota state averages of 50.93% and 43.49% respectively. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, significantly higher than the state average. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as 30.1% of students at the school were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Despite these challenges, Redfield Middle School - 02 does have some potential strengths, including a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, which could allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, this has not yet translated into stronger academic outcomes. Addressing the school's performance and engagement issues will likely require a comprehensive approach involving school leadership, teachers, and the broader Redfield School District 56-4.
