About this school's data2 sources, 2019–2024
Every number on this page comes from a published source with a stated period. Where a source is partial, aging, an estimate, or describes a surrounding area rather than the school, that limitation is named here.
- Based on limited data: 0% component coverage.
- We don't have enough verified data to rate this school fairly. Private schools in SD aren't required to report standardized test scores to the state, which limits the data available for our rating model. Our rating model requires at least 2 of 3 data components (academics, student progress, college readiness, and resources) to generate a meaningful score. Schools below this threshold receive a Limited Profile to avoid misleading ratings. Learn more about our methodology
