Faulkton High School - 01

Summary:

Faulkton High School - 01 is a public high school located in Faulkton, South Dakota, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 77 students. The school is part of the Faulkton Area Schools 24-4 district.

Faulkton High School - 01 has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments has been mixed, with scores below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science in the 2023-2024 school year, despite outperforming the state in all three subject areas the previous year. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a low of 3.57% in 2021-2022 to a high of 17.28% in 2020-2021.

The school's statewide ranking has varied significantly over the past decade, from as high as 6th out of 140 South Dakota high schools in the 2020-2021 school year to as low as 121st out of 144 in the 2012-2013 school year. This suggests that the school's performance may be influenced by factors that can change over time. Additionally, the data shows that female students at Faulkton High School - 01 have consistently outperformed their male counterparts in recent years, an interesting finding that warrants further investigation. The only nearby school, Brentwood Colony Virtual High School - 92, is a virtual high school with a very small enrollment of 6 students and a 100% four-year graduation rate, but the limited data available makes it difficult to draw meaningful comparisons.

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.
