Summary:
The Miller 29-4 school district in South Dakota has only one high school, Miller High School - 01, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate of 96.6%, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates in mathematics significantly below the state average.
Miller High School - 01 is currently ranked 81 out of 141 South Dakota high schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This represents a drop from previous years, when the school was ranked 98 out of 138 schools and had a 2-star rating in 2022-2023, and 108 out of 134 schools with a 1-star rating in 2021-2022. The school's performance on the Smarter Balanced Assessments is mixed, with English Language Arts and Science proficiency rates close to or above the state average, but Mathematics proficiency significantly below.
Despite the declining academic performance, Miller 29-4 appears to be investing resources in its students, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.2 to 1 and high per-student spending of $17,162. However, the lack of comparative data from other schools in the district makes it difficult to fully assess the school's performance and identify areas for improvement.
