Best Elementary Schools in Chamberlain, SD

Chamberlain, South Dakota is home to a single elementary school, Chamberlain Elementary - 03, which serves students from the Chamberlain School District 07-1. While the school's overall performance has been in the middle of the pack among South Dakota elementary schools, it has shown some strengths, particularly in the early grades and in science.

Chamberlain Elementary - 03 has consistently ranked in the middle of South Dakota elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that are below the state average. However, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in both ELA and Math, as well as its 5th grade Science proficiency, are above the state averages. This suggests the school may be doing a better job of preparing students in the early grades and in the sciences.

The school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with nearly 60% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this challenge, the school has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, which may be contributing to its relatively strong performance in certain areas. Overall, Chamberlain Elementary - 03 appears to be a stable, middle-performing school that is working to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
