Summary

Redfield High School - 01 serves 153 students in grades 9–12 in Redfield, South Dakota. Its clearest academic strength is 11th-grade math: 55% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 34% statewide, making math the school’s standout result.

Math was also stronger than at nearby schools with results available: the school’s 55% proficiency rate topped Hitchcock-Tulare’s 47% and Northwestern’s 20%.

Graduation was another strength: the 2025–2026 rate was 95%, compared with 88% statewide and 93% districtwide.

Results have varied over time. On Smarter Balanced science, proficiency rose from 32% in 2022–2023 to 56% in 2024–2025, shifting from 20 points below the state to 7 points above; the later 48% SD ACT science result is a different assessment and is not directly comparable.
