Summary:

The 57438 zip code is home to a single public high school, Faulkton High School - 01, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has experienced some fluctuations in its performance over the past few years, it has maintained a relatively strong graduation rate and provides a unique educational opportunity for the local community.

Faulkton High School - 01 has seen its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating fluctuate, ranking as high as 22nd out of 138 South Dakota high schools in 2022-2023 and as low as 112th out of 141 schools in 2023-2024 before rebounding to 53rd out of 166 schools in 2024-2025. The school's 86.4% four-year graduation rate in 2024-2025 is a positive indicator, exceeding the state average. However, its academic performance has been uneven, with English Language Arts proficiency rates above the state average but Mathematics and Science proficiency rates below the district and state averages.

With a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (7.89% in 2023-2024) and a high spending per student ($14,770 in 2023-2024), Faulkton High School - 01 appears to serve a more affluent student population.
