Summary:
The city of Dupree, South Dakota is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Dupree School District 64-2. Unfortunately, the district as a whole is performing poorly, ranking 141 out of 147 school districts in the state and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
None of the three Dupree schools - Dupree Elementary - 02, Dupree High School - 01, and Dupree Junior High - 04 - stand out as high-performing. The elementary school has the highest performance, but it still ranks in the bottom quarter of elementary schools in the state. The middle and high schools both rank in the bottom 15% of their respective school types in South Dakota. Across all grade levels and subjects, the Dupree schools perform significantly below the state averages in areas like test scores, graduation rates, and dropout rates.
Several key factors may be contributing to the low performance of the Dupree schools, including high chronic absenteeism rates, a 100% free/reduced lunch student population indicating high poverty, and higher per-student spending but lower student-teacher ratios. Addressing these underlying issues will be crucial for improving academic outcomes in the Dupree school system.
