Summary:
The Eagle Butte School District 20-1 in South Dakota has only one high school, Eagle Butte High School - 01, which serves a small student population of just 13 students. The school faces significant academic challenges, with student performance well below state averages in both English Language Arts and Science.
Eagle Butte High School - 01 has a high percentage of Native American students at 84.62%, and a very high percentage of students (92.31%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, it has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in South Dakota, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The extremely small size of Eagle Butte High School - 01 raises questions about its ability to provide a comprehensive educational experience and extracurricular opportunities for its students. The persistent academic challenges faced by the school, coupled with the high poverty levels in the community, suggest that addressing equity and opportunity gaps will be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students in this area.
