Summary:

Todd County High School - 01 is a public high school located in Mission, South Dakota, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 496 students. The school is part of the Todd County School District 66-1. Unfortunately, Todd County High School - 01 has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in South Dakota over the past decade, with rankings ranging from 128th to 140th out of the state's high schools.

The school struggles across multiple academic and demographic metrics. Its proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Science are significantly lower than the state average, with only 16.09% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 63.01%. The school's overall ELA proficiency rate for all grades is just 15.31%, compared to the state average of 50.04%.

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.
