Summary:
Crooks, South Dakota is home to a single elementary school, Tri-Valley Elementary in Crooks - 04, which serves students from the Tri-Valley School District 49-6. The school has a student population of 200 and is ranked 141 out of 300 South Dakota elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Tri-Valley Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with some variations across grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 49.33% in ELA and 50.67% in Math, compared to the state averages of 50.93% in ELA and 43.49% in Math. The school's proficiency rates have shown some improvement from the previous year, indicating a consistent educational experience for its students.
While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio suggest effective resource allocation, the higher chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% compared to the state average is an area of concern that may require further investigation and targeted interventions. Additionally, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 20.5% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from lower-income households, which could be a factor in the school's performance and may require additional support and programs to address this challenge.
