The district's performance varies, with some standout schools like Huron Middle School - 02 and Huron High School - 01 outperforming the district and state averages, while smaller schools like Huron Colony Elementary - 13 and Riverside Colony Elementary - 15 struggle with lower test scores.

Huron Middle School - 02 stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 117th out of 246 South Dakota middle schools and exceeding the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Huron High School - 01 also performs better than the district average, with a higher 4-year graduation rate and lower dropout rate than the district as a whole.

The data reveals significant disparities in student outcomes across the district, with the smaller elementary schools, Huron Colony Elementary - 13 and Riverside Colony Elementary - 15, struggling with much lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district, particularly in the elementary schools, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in student performance.
