History

Prior to losing its gymnasium the school had about 300 students, but after the gymnasium was decommissioned enrollment declined.[5]

In 2003 the dormitory burned down. The building was not insured although the objects inside were.[6]

In Summer 2008 enrollment was 120. In 2008, multiple former employees were sentenced and/or awaiting sentencing for federal criminal charges, causing turmoil at the school. The school was scheduled to get a gymnasium in 2009.[5]

Student body

The school enrolls students from Fort Thompson and from Native American reservations in South Dakota and other states.[5]
