Summary

Spring Lake Colony High School is a small, public virtual high school serving grades 9-12 in Arlington, South Dakota, with an enrollment of just 14 students. The school is part of the Oldham-Ramona-Rutland 39-6 school district, which is ranked 139 out of 147 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Spring Lake Colony High School faces significant challenges. The school has a 0% proficiency rate in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the Smarter Balanced Assessments for 11th grade students, placing them in the bottom 5-10% of all high schools in the state. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 2.6% to 21.4% in recent years, and its four-year graduation rates, while improving, still range from 84% to 94.7%, which are lower than the district and state averages. Interestingly, the school's English Language Learner students perform relatively better, ranking in the middle 50% of high schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Brookings High School, Madison High School, and Sioux Valley High School, Spring Lake Colony High School's performance is significantly lower across various metrics. Even the Oldham-Ramona-Rutland High School, which is part of the same district, outperforms Spring Lake Colony High School. While the small school size and virtual learning environment may contribute to the challenges, the broader systemic issues within the district suggest that addressing the performance gaps at Spring Lake Colony High School will require a comprehensive approach.
