While the school's academic performance is generally strong, its statewide ranking has fluctuated between 46th and 63rd out of all middle schools in South Dakota over the past few years. This suggests that the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond just academic achievement, such as the performance of other schools in the state. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (11.48%) indicates that it serves a relatively affluent student population, which may contribute to its academic success.
