Lyman Middle School - 02

Summary:

Lyman Middle School - 02 is a public middle school located in Presho, South Dakota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 83 students. The school is part of the Lyman School District 42-1, which is ranked 105 out of 126 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lyman Middle School - 02 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Dakota middle schools, ranging from 90th to 134th out of 145-150 schools over the past 8 years. The school's performance has been relatively stable, with a 2-star rating for most years, except for a 0-star rating in 2020-2021 and a 1-star rating in 2022-2023. While female students and Native American students have performed slightly better than the overall school, the school consistently underperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 24.1% to 34.2% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, the school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate of 55% in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the state average of 38.83%, and the performance of low socioeconomic status (SES) students at the school has been exceptionally well, ranking 5th out of 65 schools in 2023-2024. However, the school's overall academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism remain significant areas of concern that the school and district will need to address to support the success of all students.

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.
