Summary:

Iroquois Middle School - 02 is a public middle school in Iroquois, South Dakota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 49 students. The school is part of the Iroquois School District 02-3, which is ranked 117 out of 126 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Iroquois Middle School - 02 has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of South Dakota middle schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Iroquois Middle School - 02 consistently underperforms compared to the state and its own district in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29.27% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 50.04% statewide, and only 14.64% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 42.95% statewide. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, reaching 32.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 44.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

Interestingly, the nearby Pearl Creek Colony Elementary - 05, which is also part of the Iroquois School District 02-3, outperforms Iroquois Middle School - 02 in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, despite being a smaller school with only 11 students. This suggests that the challenges faced by Iroquois Middle School - 02 may be specific to the middle school level. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.3 to 13.1 over the past few years, suggests that class size is not a significant barrier to student learning.

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.
