The city of Tripp, South Dakota, is home to a single high school, Tripp-Delmont High School - 01, which serves students in grades 9-12.

Tripp-Delmont High School - 01 excels in English Language Arts proficiency, outperforming the state average by a significant margin, but struggles in Mathematics and Science, falling behind the state averages in these subject areas.
