The clearest current positive signal is the high school’s 11th-grade SD ACT results: its proficiency rates were above state rates in all three subjects, led by a 22-point ELA advantage (70% versus 48% statewide).
The high school stands out most on current state comparisons, while elementary and middle results show different strengths. The high school also had a 0% dropout rate, compared with 2% statewide. Among the elementary and middle schools, the middle school had stronger all-grades ELA results: 53% versus 38% at the elementary school, with the middle school 4 points above the state rate and the elementary school 11 points below. The elementary school led in all-grades math, at 45% versus 34%; it was 1 point above the state, while the middle school was 9 points below. SchoolDigger ranks the high school 30th of 130 (77th percentile, 4 stars), the middle school 92nd of 151 (39th percentile, 2 stars), and the elementary school 173rd of 203 (15th percentile, 1 star).
Comparable test results changed unevenly, and the school-by-school differences matter more than a single overall trend. Elementary all-grades math rose 10 points from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, while middle math fell 14 points; ELA fell 3 points at the elementary school and 28 points at the middle school. The schools’ equal-weight average ELA gap from the state shifted from 10 points above to 4 points below; the math gap moved from 2 points below to 4 points below. SchoolDigger percentiles also fell over this period at the elementary school, from 63 to 15, and the middle school, from 77 to 39. For 2024-2025, free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 27% at the elementary school, 29% at the middle school, and 23% at the high school; student-teacher ratios were 9.9, 9.3, and 8.4, respectively. All-grades comparisons involve different grade spans, and the high school’s test changed between years, so its scores do not show a comparable trend.
