Summary:
The Alcester-Hudson School District 61-1 in South Dakota is home to a single high school, Alcester-Hudson High School - 01. While the school has a low student-teacher ratio and relatively low rates of economic disadvantage, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 61st out of 134 high schools in 2021-2022 to 126th out of 141 high schools in 2023-2024.
Alcester-Hudson High School - 01 has a four-year graduation rate of 89.6%, which is slightly below the state average. However, the school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is significantly below the state averages in all subject areas, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, for both 11th-grade students and all grades. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving academic outcomes for its students.
Despite the school district spending more per student than the state average, the school's overall performance remains below par. This indicates that simply increasing funding may not be the solution to improving educational outcomes at Alcester-Hudson High School - 01. The school's declining performance and underperformance on assessments suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific challenges facing its student population.
