High Schools in Lead-Deadwood School District 40-1

The Lead-Deadwood School District 40-1 in South Dakota is home to two public high schools: Lead-Deadwood High School - 01 and Lead-Deadwood Career & Technical Education - 10. While both schools serve high school students, they exhibit notable differences in their performance and student demographics.

Lead-Deadwood High School - 01 appears to be the higher-performing of the two, with a higher enrollment, better test scores, and a higher 4-year graduation rate of 86.4%. In contrast, Lead-Deadwood Career & Technical Education - 10 has a much smaller student population and lower performance metrics, including a School Digger rating of just 1 out of 5 stars. However, both schools share the same 4-year graduation rate and dropout rate, suggesting the district may be working to ensure consistent outcomes across the schools.

The data also reveals significant differences in the student populations of the two schools. Lead-Deadwood Career & Technical Education - 10 serves a much higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 95.31% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to just 18.81% at Lead-Deadwood High School - 01. This disparity in student demographics may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools, though further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors at play.
