Summary:
The Garretson School District 49-4 in South Dakota is home to a single high school, Garretson High School - 01, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data reveals that this school has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools across the state.
Garretson High School - 01 has been ranked in the bottom third of South Dakota high schools for the past three school years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.6% is slightly higher. Academically, the school has significantly lower proficiency rates on standardized assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages.
Despite the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and higher per-student spending, its performance remains consistently below average. This suggests that factors beyond socioeconomic status, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges. To address these issues, the school and district leadership will need to develop a comprehensive plan to improve the quality of education and better prepare students for success after graduation.
