Summary:
The Winner School District 59-2 in South Dakota consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district's schools have some areas of strength, they generally underperform compared to state averages, particularly in core academic subjects.
Winner High School - 01 stands out as the district's top performer, with the highest 4-year graduation rate at 86.4% and relatively low dropout rate of 2.6%. The school also has the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science among the three schools, though its Math proficiency lags behind. In contrast, Winner Elementary - 04 and Winner Middle School - 02 struggle with lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to the district and state averages.
Across the district, science proficiency is a particular area of concern, with all three schools performing significantly below the state average. Additionally, the schools have relatively high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28.57% at Winner High School - 01 to 37.5% at Winner Middle School - 02. Winner Elementary - 04 also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which is higher than the district and state averages. These equity-related challenges may be impacting student outcomes and will require targeted interventions to address.
