Summary:
The Miller 29-4 school district in South Dakota has only one high school, Miller High School - 01, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance data suggests some areas of concern, particularly in academic achievement compared to state averages.
While Miller High School - 01 has a relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 14.77%, its proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments are below the state averages in several key subjects. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 50% in English Language Arts (ELA), 20.46% in Mathematics, and 38.63% in Science, compared to state averages of 50.93%, 43.49%, and 43.63%, respectively. The school's 11th-grade proficiency rates were also lower than the state averages in these subjects.
Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% is relatively high, but its dropout rate of 2.6% is still a concern. The school's per-student spending of $13,907 is relatively high, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Miller High School - 01 may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and support for students, particularly in mathematics and science, to better align with state standards and best practices.
