McIntosh Middle School - 03

Summary:

McIntosh Middle School - 03 is a public middle school located in Mc Intosh, South Dakota, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 37 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.

Despite the school's small size, it faces significant challenges. McIntosh Middle School - 03 has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.5% in 2022-2023 to 40% in 2021-2022, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is consistently below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 27.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 15% proficient or better in Mathematics in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 school years.

While the school's spending per student has fluctuated over the years, ranging from $20,913 in 2021-2022 to $26,019 in 2020-2021, this level of spending does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's statewide ranking has declined significantly over the years, from a high of 17th out of 149 South Dakota middle schools in 2018-2019 to 138th out of 147 in 2023-2024. However, it is worth noting that the school has performed relatively well in supporting its low-socioeconomic status students, ranking 2nd out of 79 South Dakota middle schools for this subgroup in 2018-2019.

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.
