The school's performance in Science for 8th grade is also significantly lower than the state average, with only 13.89% proficiency in 2023-2024 compared to the state's 38.83%. However, the school's special education students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 3rd out of 29 South Dakota middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

Redfield Middle School - 02 faces several challenges, including consistently underperforming academic results compared to the state and its own district, as well as increasing chronic absenteeism, from 9.6% in 2023-2024 to 21.4% in 2021-2022. The school performs significantly worse than the nearby Northwestern Middle School - 02, which is ranked 21st out of 147 South Dakota middle schools and has much higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics. Hitchcock-Tulare Junior High School - 02, located just 9.59 miles away, also outperforms Redfield Middle School - 02 in several academic areas, despite being a smaller school. To improve overall outcomes, the school and Redfield School District 56-4 should focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of the academic and attendance issues, while also learning from the successful strategies used for the special education population.

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.
