Abstract	This state report card is derived from "Measuring Up 2004," the national report card for higher education. Its purpose is to provide the public and policymakers with information to assess and improve postsecondary education in each state. "Measuring Up 2004" is the third in a series of biennial report cards. The report card grades states in six overall performance categories: (1) Preparation: How adequately are students in each state being prepared for education and training beyond high school?; (2) Participation: Do state residents have sufficient opportunities to enroll in education and training beyond high school?; (3) Affordability: How affordable is higher education for students and their families?; (4) Completion: Do students make progress toward and complete their certificates and degrees in a timely manner?; (5) Benefits: What benefits does the state receive as a result of having a highly educated population?; and (6) Learning: What is known about student learning as a result of education and training beyond high school? Findings for South Dakota include: (1) Over the past decade, South Dakota has improved in preparing students to succeed in college. This year South Dakota receives a B in preparation; (2) South Dakota has made notable improvement in enrolling students in higher education over the past decade. This year South Dakota receives a B+ in participation; (3) Over the past decade, South Dakota has lost ground in providing affordable higher education opportunities. This year South Dakota receives an F in affordability; (4) South Dakota, over the past decade, has made substantial improvement in the proportion of students earning a certificate or degree in a timely manner. South Dakota receives a B in completion this year; (5) Over the past decade, South Dakota has seen an increase in benefits from having a more highly educated population. Despite that improvement, South Dakota lags behind many other states and receives a C- in benefits this year; and (6) Like most states, South Dakota received an Incomplete in learning because there are no comparable data that would allow for meaningful state-by-state comparisons in learning. This report also includes additional information, questions and answers, state grades, and "Measuring Up 2004" resources.
