Scoring and Timing Solutions for High Schools

Schools should look for a display partner with proven reliability, long-term service and support, as well as industry-leading technology. Daktronics LED scoreboards and video boards are designed for consistent performance, easy operation and long product life. Many schools also consider flexibility for different sports, integration with existing systems and the ability to add revenue-generating content.

The decision between standard scoreboards and full LED video boards usually depends on the game day experience a school wants to create. A traditional scoreboard provides essential scoring and timing, while an LED video board adds dynamic content, replays, hype videos, sponsorship graphics, student opportunities to gain career skills, and school branding. Daktronics can help your school evaluate viewing distances, usage needs and available budgets to determine the right fit. Design yours here. 

Pricing depends on display size, pixel pitch, installation needs and control system requirements. Daktronics offers solutions ranging from traditional scoreboards to full LED video displays, each with scalable options to fit a variety of budgets. We work with schools to provide clear pricing guidance and help identify sponsorship opportunities that can offset project costs.

Daktronics control systems are designed to meet every school at their level, with straightforward, intuitive use, starting with the basic All Sport Lite for scoreboards. For video boards, tools like All Sport Pro and Show Control provide sport-specific interfaces, so students and volunteers can easily run graphics, scoring and video content. Training and ongoing support are included to ensure every operator feels confident.

DakClassroom also empowers students with hands-on experience in media production on the same technology used by professional stadiums. 

Daktronics products are designed for long-term performance and reliability, built in our South Dakota and Minnesota manufacturing factories. Features such as industry-leading LED technology, durable construction and strong warranty options help ensure displays are built to last through years of high school sports seasons.

We also have an in-house testing facility where we perform rigorous testing on LED display components, measuring image quality, testing performance and even stressing components to complete failure to discover vulnerabilities. Our engineers use this data to improve and develop our products to ensure every LED display board is designed with unmatched integrity, quality and reliability - so you can count on our technology for years to come.
