Wilmot High School - 01

Summary:

Wilmot High School - 01 is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Wilmot, South Dakota, with a total enrollment of just 66 students. Despite its small size, the school has faced significant challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of South Dakota high schools over the past decade and earning a low 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the key issues at Wilmot High School - 01 is its uneven performance among different student subgroups. While the school's low socioeconomic status students have performed relatively well, ranking 22nd and 21st out of 48 and 46 South Dakota high schools in the last two years, the school's male and white student populations have ranked much lower, in the bottom quarter of the state. Additionally, the school's overall academic achievement, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, has consistently lagged behind the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Milbank High School - 01 and Summit High School - 01, Wilmot High School - 01 performs significantly worse across multiple metrics, including academic achievement, graduation rates, and overall statewide rankings. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Wilmot High School - 01 to learn from the practices and strategies employed at higher-performing schools in the region. However, the school's small size and its location within the Wilmot School District 54-7, which is ranked 120 out of 126 districts in the state, may present unique challenges in terms of resource allocation and the ability to attract and retain high-quality teachers and administrators.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
