Riggs carries a cited four-year graduation rate in the approximate 90-94% range (with one source describing a wider recent range of 84%-95.5% across recent years), cited as HIGHER than the South Dakota statewide average of approximately 82%.
A Real, Strong Statewide Ranking
T.F. Riggs High School was separately cited as ranked 7th within South Dakota per one source reviewed this pass -- a real, genuine strength this record discloses directly, distinct from a district facing meaningful academic underperformance relative to state averages.
