Central High School - 01's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 49th to 108th out of South Dakota high schools. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 108th, which is a relatively low ranking compared to its past performance. The school has shown varying performance across different student subgroups, performing well for Asian and African American students but struggling with Hispanic, Native American, and Multi-racial student groups. Central High School - 01 has a four-year graduation rate of 85.8% and a dropout rate of 3.9%, which are relatively average compared to state averages. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with particularly poor performance in Mathematics.

When compared to nearby schools, Central High School - 01 performs relatively well compared to the small, rural Northwestern High School - 01 and the virtual iSucceed - 92 school, but struggles compared to the higher-performing Groton Area High School - 01 and Warner High School - 01. The school's declining performance and subgroup disparities suggest that it may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
