High Schools in Langford Area School District 45-5

Summary:

The Langford Area High School - 01 is the sole high school serving the Langford Area 45-5 school district in South Dakota. This small public high school, with just 44 students enrolled in grades 9-12, has a mix of strengths and challenges compared to other schools in the state.

Langford Area High School - 01 stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts, with 80% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better on the Smarter Balanced Assessments. However, the school struggles in Mathematics and Science, with only 13.34% and 20% of 11th-graders, respectively, meeting proficiency standards. Despite these academic challenges, the school maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% and a low dropout rate of 2.6%.

While the school's small size may allow for more personalized attention, it also limits the range of course offerings and extracurricular activities available to students. Additionally, the school's high spending of $18,326 per student and declining ranking on the SchoolDigger scale are areas of concern that warrant further investigation. Overall, Langford Area High School - 01 appears to be a modestly performing school within the state, with strengths in English Language Arts but significant room for improvement in Mathematics and Science.
