High Schools in Bridgewater-Emery 30-3

The Bridgewater-Emery 30-3 school district in South Dakota is home to a single high school, Bridgewater-Emery High School - 01, which serves grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 100 students. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate and low dropout rate, suggesting it is effectively supporting its students and helping them complete their high school education.

Bridgewater-Emery High School - 01 had a 96.4% four-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for the 2023-2024 school year, significantly outperforming the state average. However, the school's academic performance in English Language Arts and Science was slightly below the state average, while its Mathematics performance was slightly above. The school's per-student spending of $14,913 is higher than the state average, and its 10:1 student-teacher ratio indicates smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.

Despite the school's strengths, its performance, as measured by its statewide SchoolDigger ranking, has declined over the past three years, from 99 out of 138 South Dakota high schools in 2022-2023 to 76 out of 141 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be facing some challenges that are impacting its academic outcomes. Additionally, the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (25%) indicates the school serves a population with a significant level of economic disadvantage, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support and resources.
