Eagle Butte High School - 01

Summary:

Eagle Butte High School - 01 is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Eagle Butte, South Dakota, with a student population of just 13 students. Despite the school's high per-student spending, it has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state over the past decade, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science well below the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 24.56% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 63.01%. The school's four-year graduation rate has also been low, ranging from 51.8% to 55.1% in recent years, though the dropout rate has been 0% for the past three years. Additionally, a large majority of the school's students (over 92% in 2022-2023) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearest comparable school is Dupree High School - 01, located about 18 miles away. Dupree High School has a larger student population of 123 students and performs better academically, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Science. However, it still ranks in the bottom half of South Dakota high schools. The combination of a small student population, high poverty levels, and consistently low academic performance at Eagle Butte High School - 01 suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be crucial for improving the school's 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.
