These numbers are the South Dakota public school students in grade 11 who were enrolled for the full school year, tested in ELA and math (Smarter Balanced) and science (the SDSA), by the school where they tested, with the alternate assessment counted in. South Dakota hides a school's whole row when it is small. For 2019 it published school rows only, so that year's district and statewide figures add up the schools it did not hide.
