Henry School District 14-2

Summary:

The Henry School District 14-2 in South Dakota serves three schools: Henry Elementary, Henry High School, and Henry Middle School. Unfortunately, the district as a whole appears to be struggling, with all three schools performing below state averages on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates.

The elementary and middle schools in the district have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the district's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate was 28.57% compared to the state average of 49.72%. The high school also lags behind the state in 11th grade ELA, Math, and Science proficiency rates. Additionally, the high school has an 86.4% four-year graduation rate, which is lower than the state average, and a 2.6% dropout rate that is higher than the state average.

The district's struggles are further reflected in its low rankings. The Henry School District 14-2 is ranked 136 out of 147 districts in South Dakota and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district faces systemic challenges that need to be addressed, potentially including high poverty levels, as evidenced by the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools.
