South Dakota's No Child Left Behind report card shows reservation schools trailing the state.
Most of the schools needing improvement are located on or near the state's nine reservations. In Todd County, on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation, eight schools are on the improvement list.
Test scores of Indian students also trail the state. In Shannon County, on the Pine Ridge Reservation, math and reading scores did not reach the statewide goal.
More Indian students are economically disadvantaged than their counterparts.
