Summary:
The Bison School District in South Dakota consists of three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves the small city of Bison, with a focus on providing quality education to its students.
Among the standout schools in the district, Bison Junior High - 04 has performed exceptionally well, ranking 15th out of 147 South Dakota middle schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meanwhile, Bison High School - 01 has shown improvement, now ranking 64th out of 166 high schools in the state, with its 11th and 12th grade English Language Arts proficiency rates above the district and state averages.
However, the district faces some challenges, particularly at the elementary school level.

Additionally, the district as a whole has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates at the elementary and middle school levels, which may require targeted interventions to address.
