Summary

Scotland High School - 01 serves 64 students in grades 9–12 in Scotland, South Dakota. Its 2025–2026 graduation rate was 93%, above the state’s 88%, although its 3% dropout rate was the highest among nearby schools with reported figures. The clearest takeaway is that 11th-grade science is a strength, while mathematics is the school’s most pronounced weakness.

In 2025–2026, 57% of Scotland’s 11th graders were proficient in science—12 percentage points above the state and second-highest among nearby schools with reported results, just behind Menno High School - 01. Math proficiency was 21%, 13 points below the state and lower than the reported results at Freeman High School - 01, Menno, Avon High School - 01 and Bon Homme High School - 01. English results were in the middle of the nearby-school group, at 43% versus 48% statewide. Scotland’s reported test results match those of the Scotland School District 04-3 exactly.

Earlier 11th-grade results show English proficiency rose from 40% in 2022–2023 to 56% in 2024–2025, while science fell from 48% to 31% and math edged down from 28% to 25%. SchoolDigger’s latest overall ranking is the 38th percentile in South Dakota, with 2 stars, up from the 27th percentile the prior year; the district ranked at the 37th percentile. SchoolDigger’s subgroup standings varied sharply: male students ranked at the 73rd percentile in 2024–2025, while female students ranked at the 14th percentile, down from the 88th percentile in 2022–2023. Scotland’s 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 7.5, and 44% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
