Summary:
Rosholt, South Dakota is home to a single middle school, Rosholt Middle School - 04, which serves grades 6-8 within the Rosholt School District 54-4. This small middle school has faced significant challenges, ranking in the bottom half of all middle schools in South Dakota and struggling to meet state averages in key academic areas.
Rosholt Middle School - 04 has a relatively small student population of just 48 students, and its performance metrics suggest it is an underperforming school. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is quite high at 20.2%, and its overall test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the district and state averages. While the school's 6th grade students perform better than their peers in the district and state, the 7th and 8th grade students lag significantly behind, with proficiency rates as low as 22.23% in 8th grade math. Additionally, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 22.23% is lower than the district and state averages.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and higher-than-average spending per student at $11,780. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes for the majority of the school's students. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, programs, and support systems may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and help Rosholt Middle School - 04 better serve its community.
