Summary:
The Bennett County School District 03-1 in South Dakota is home to a single high school, Bennett County High School - 01, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, with a drop in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, as well as lower-than-average graduation rates and higher dropout rates.
Academically, Bennett County High School - 01 outperforms the state average in 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency, but struggles in Math and Science, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and spends more per student than the state average, which may indicate the need for targeted support and resources to address the academic and social-emotional needs of its students.
Despite the challenges, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6 suggests smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students, which could be a strength to build upon. Overall, the data highlights the need for further analysis and targeted interventions to improve the performance and outcomes for students at Bennett County High School - 01 within the Bennett County School District 03-1.
