High Schools in Scotland School District 04-3

Scotland School District 04-3 in South Dakota has only one high school, Scotland High School - 01, which serves grades 9-12. The school has faced challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking and rating declining from a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in the most recent years.

Academically, Scotland High School - 01 has struggled, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly lower than the statewide averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate was 41.18%, compared to the statewide average of 63.01%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 28%, compared to the statewide average of 37.82%. However, the school's Science proficiency rate of 48% in 2022-2023 was closer to the statewide average of 51.8%.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic challenges, as 23.46% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite the district's investment in resources, with higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the statewide averages, the academic results have not yet reflected the impact of these investments. The school's declining performance and academic underperformance compared to the state suggest that the Scotland School District 04-3 may need to reevaluate its strategies to support student success.
