Summary:
The Clark School District 12-2 in South Dakota has only one high school, Clark High School - 01, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of South Dakota high schools, indicating a need for improvement in academic achievement and overall school performance.
Clark High School - 01 has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts (25% vs. 63.01% state average), Mathematics (12.5% vs. 35.56% state average), and Science (16.67% vs. 48.94% state average) compared to the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate of 86.3% is slightly below the state average, while the dropout rate of 1.9% is lower than the state average. The school's spending per student ($12,522) and low student-teacher ratio (11.3 to 1) suggest efficient resource allocation, but this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes.
The relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (20.59%) at Clark High School - 01 may indicate socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting the school's performance. Overall, the data highlights the need for the school and district to focus on improving academic performance, addressing achievement gaps, and exploring strategies to support student success, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
