Wall High School - 01

Summary:

Wall High School - 01 is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Wall, South Dakota, with a total enrollment of 99 students. The school is part of the Wall School District 51-5, which is ranked 57 out of 126 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wall High School - 01 has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from as high as 5th out of 144 South Dakota high schools in 2012-2013 to as low as 114th out of 141 high schools in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. This inconsistency is reflected in the school's academic proficiency rates, which have consistently lagged behind the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with male and white students generally performing better than female students.

Despite these academic challenges, Wall High School - 01 has maintained high graduation rates, with 100% in 2023-2024 and 2021-2022, and a relatively low dropout rate. The school has also seen an increase in per-student spending, from $11,062 in 2020-2021 to $15,215 in 2022-2023, though the student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable. These findings suggest that the school is working to support its students, but more targeted interventions may be needed to address the underlying causes of the inconsistent academic performance and subgroup disparities.

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.
