GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school feels like it's gone back in time in acceptance and political views. It was safe for me to go to compared to other schools, but I still did not feel entirely comfortable being gay or progressive in my high school. Most people were rude or aggressive towards people like me.

This school has refused students the right to use the restroom. They insisted on using an online hall pass. The teachers are very good and I've learned what I have needed to based on the South Dakota guidelines. College readiness is something that is not accessible for students looking to further their education.

Lead Deadwood High School has many good qualities, but there are also many problems with the school. It has very good Clubs & Activities, along with a good safety rating. However, the food, diversity, and school culture lag behind. Overall, my high school experience has been average.
