Summary:
The middle-school list for Herreid School District 10-1 contains one school, Herreid Middle School - 03, serving grades 6–8 in Herreid, South Dakota. Because the list contains only one school, it cannot support a school-to-school comparison, and its enrollment of 35 means results may be sensitive to small numbers. In 2025–2026, all-grades ELA proficiency was 53%, compared with 49% statewide, while math was 34%, compared with 44% statewide. The most important finding is the clear split: ELA is above the state rate, but math is notably below it.
Within the reported grade-level results, eighth grade stands out positively: proficiency was 55% in ELA, 45% in math, and 45% in science—3, 2, and 5 points above state rates, respectively. Sixth grade results were weaker by comparison: ELA was 38%, 10 points below the state, and math was 23%, 19 points below. These results make the school both the highest and lowest in this one-school list; against the state, its strongest reported profile is eighth grade, while sixth-grade math is the clearest concern.
Results dropped sharply from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: all-grades ELA fell 28 points, from 81% to 53%, and math fell 14 points, from 48% to 34%. Eighth-grade science declined 38 points, from 83% to 45%, though it remained 5 points above the state.

Context figures include a 9.3:1 student-teacher ratio and 29% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 9% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 11% and the state’s 20%.
