McIntosh High School - 01

Summary:

McIntosh High School - 01 is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Mc Intosh, South Dakota, with a total enrollment of 46 students. The school is part of the McIntosh School District 15-1, which is ranked 113 out of 126 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the years, McIntosh High School - 01 has experienced significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 5th out of 138 South Dakota high schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 139th out of 150 in 2009-2010. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 98th out of 141 South Dakota high schools, with a 2-star rating, which is significantly below the state average. The school's graduation rates have also been below the state average, and its dropout rates have been higher than the state average. Academically, the school has consistently performed below the state average in Smarter Balanced Assessments for 11th-grade students in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Despite these challenges, McIntosh High School - 01 has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the past two school years. However, the school has performed relatively well in terms of ranking among South Dakota high schools with a high percentage of low-income students. The school's increasing per-student spending and small class sizes suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to the school, but this investment does not appear to be translating into consistent academic improvements, which raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's instructional practices and support systems.

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.
