Summary:
The Bird Island-Olivia-Lake Lillian area is home to a single high school, BOLD Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school's academic performance in Math and Science lags behind state averages, it excels in Reading proficiency and maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 93.6%. However, the school faces challenges related to its socioeconomic demographics, with 43.75% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
BOLD Senior High School's enrollment stands at 224 students, with a predominantly White student body (85.27%) and a notable Hispanic population (12.95%). The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.4 is lower than the state average, suggesting smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. While the school's performance on the MCA-III assessments in Math (15.91%) and Science (33.33%) is significantly below the state averages, its Reading proficiency rate of 56% is higher than the state's 49.85%.
Despite the academic performance concerns, BOLD Senior High School's relatively high graduation rate and lower student-teacher ratio indicate potential strengths that the school can build upon. However, the school's socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be impacting its overall educational outcomes. Targeted interventions and a focus on improving Math and Science instruction could help the school address these areas of concern and provide a more well-rounded and equitable education for its students.
