Summary:
The city of White Lake, South Dakota is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the White Lake School District 01-3. While the district as a whole faces challenges, with a low statewide ranking, some individual schools stand out for their strong academic performance and graduation rates.
White Lake High School - 01 shines with an impressive 86.4% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average, and a low 2.6% dropout rate. Additionally, 83.33% of 11th-grade students at this high school are proficient or better in English Language Arts, outperforming the district and state. In contrast, White Lake Middle School - 03 lags behind, with significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state.
At the elementary level, White Lake Elementary - 02 stands out, with the highest overall proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (54.17%) and Mathematics (50%) among the district's schools. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, particularly at the middle school level, which may be contributing to the academic performance disparities observed across the schools.
