Dupree Junior High - 04

Summary:

Dupree Junior High - 04 is a public middle school in Dupree, South Dakota, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 50 students. The school is part of the Dupree School District 64-2, which is ranked 124 out of 126 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Dupree Junior High - 04 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of South Dakota middle schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 145 out of 147 schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

The school faces significant challenges, including an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, well-below-average academic performance in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, such as Native American students, low socioeconomic status students, and male students. Despite a significant increase in spending per student, from $10,368 in 2019-2020 to $19,366 in 2022-2023, the school has not seen improved academic outcomes. The only nearby school, Eagle Butte Junior High - 06, also struggles with similar challenges, suggesting that the issues facing Dupree Junior High - 04 may be systemic within the region.

The persistent low performance of Dupree Junior High - 04 over the past decade indicates a need for significant and sustained intervention to address the underlying issues. A more comprehensive approach, including an analysis of how the increased funding is being utilized, may be necessary to improve educational outcomes for the students at this school.

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.
