Summary

Stanley County High School - 01 is a public high school located in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 134 students. The school is part of the Stanley County School District 57-1, which is ranked 85 out of 147 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the years, Stanley County High School - 01 has experienced significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 78th out of 166 schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating) to as low as 135th out of 140 schools in 2020-2021 (0-star rating). This contrasts with the more stable performance of the nearby T.F. Riggs High School in the Pierre School District 32-2, which has maintained a higher ranking and rating. Additionally, Stanley County High School - 01 has shown mixed academic performance, with varying proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments compared to state and district averages.

The school has also seen an increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 5.38% in 2021-2022 to 13.43% in 2023-2024, indicating growing economic challenges in the community. This is lower than the 15.97% free/reduced-lunch rate at T.F. Riggs High School in 2023-2024. Despite the higher per-student spending at Stanley County High School - 01, the school's academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, lags behind the nearby T.F. Riggs High School, which has lower per-student spending. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources at Stanley County High School - 01 and the need to ensure that increased spending translates into improved student outcomes.
