Summary:
The Tripp-Delmont School District 33-5 in South Dakota has only one middle school, Tripp-Delmont Junior High - 02, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average, ranking in the bottom half of South Dakota middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year.
Tripp-Delmont Junior High - 02 has struggled academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments has been consistently low, and its ranking of 159 out of 246 middle schools in the state indicates a need for targeted interventions and support. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.
Despite the district's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, the school's performance remains below par. This suggests that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution, and that addressing the underlying factors, such as socioeconomic status and chronic absenteeism, may be crucial in improving student outcomes at Tripp-Delmont Junior High - 02.
