Rosholt High School - 01

Summary:

Rosholt High School - 01 is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Rosholt, South Dakota, with a total enrollment of 72 students. The school is part of the Rosholt School District 54-4, which is ranked 103 out of 126 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Rosholt High School - 01 has maintained relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 85% to 93.7% in recent years, the school has consistently underperformed on standardized assessments compared to the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 42.11% in English Language Arts, 21.05% in Mathematics, and 26.31% in Science, significantly lower than the state averages of 63.01%, 35.56%, and 48.94%, respectively. This underperformance has contributed to the school's fluctuating statewide ranking, which has ranged from a high of 9th out of 133 schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 132nd out of 140 schools in 2020-2021, with the current ranking at 122nd out of 141 schools.

The school's socioeconomic challenges may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has fluctuated between 15.58% and 30.56% in recent years. While the school has increased its per-student spending from $10,087 in 2019-2020 to $12,665 in 2022-2023, these investments have not yet translated into improved student outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 12 students per teacher, suggests that it is investing resources to support its students, but further targeted interventions and strategies may be needed to address the unique needs of the school's population and improve academic performance.

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.
