Eagle Butte Junior High - 06

Summary:

Eagle Butte Junior High - 06 is a small public middle school in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, serving just 10 students in grades 7-8. With a student population that is 90% Native American, the school faces unique challenges and has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state.

Despite spending over $29,000 per student, Eagle Butte Junior High - 06 has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, male students, Native American students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, all of whom rank in the bottom 30% of middle schools in South Dakota. Interestingly, the nearby Dupree Junior High - 04, while also a low-performing school, has significantly higher enrollment (50 students) and better performance on standardized tests.

The school's extremely small size, high poverty levels, and lack of racial diversity may contribute to its challenges. With enrollment declining from 20 students to just 10 in the past year, the school faces an uncertain future. However, its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio suggests that there may be opportunities to better utilize the school's resources and support to improve student success.

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.
