Summary

Todd County Middle School - 10 is a public middle school located in Mission, South Dakota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 373 students. The school is part of the Todd County School District 66-1, which is ranked 142 out of 147 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Todd County Middle School - 10 has extremely low academic performance compared to the state and its surrounding schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 10.34% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 3.76% were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance in Science was also poor, with only 8.74% of 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better. Additionally, the school has extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 64% to 72% in recent years, far exceeding the state average. This is a critical issue that likely contributes to the school's poor academic performance.

While Todd County Middle School - 10 is the largest middle school in the area, its academic performance is significantly worse than the nearby White River Middle School - 04, which is also located in a low-income, rural area but has significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's location in a high-poverty, rural area, combined with the Todd County School District 66-1's low ranking and 0-star rating, likely contribute to the school's ongoing struggles.
