Scotland High School - 01

Summary:

Scotland High School - 01 is a public high school serving 81 students in grades 9-12 in Scotland, South Dakota. The school is part of the Scotland School District 04-3, which is ranked 101 out of 126 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Scotland High School - 01 has experienced significant performance changes over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 8th out of 144 schools in 2012-2013 (5-star rating) to 105th out of 141 schools in the most recent 2023-2024 school year (1-star rating). This instability in performance is concerning, and the school's academic underperformance in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency for 11th-grade students is a key area of concern. Notably, female students at Scotland High School - 01 have consistently outperformed their male counterparts, with the school ranking 11th out of 95 SD high schools for female students in 2022-2023 (4-star rating) compared to 92nd out of 96 for male students (0-star rating).

Compared to nearby schools, such as Freeman High School - 01, Avon High School - 01, and Bon Homme High School - 01, Scotland High School - 01 generally underperforms in various metrics, including statewide ranking, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. This suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges or circumstances that are hindering its performance. To address these issues, the school and district should conduct a comprehensive review of their practices, identify the root causes of the performance gaps, and implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes across all demographics and subject areas.

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.
