Summary:
Kennebec, South Dakota is home to a single elementary school, Lyman Elementary - 04, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 180 students. The school is part of the Lyman School District 42-1, which is ranked 87 out of 147 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Lyman Elementary - 04 has consistently underperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency across all grade levels, with the largest gap in 5th grade (33.33% vs. 49.72%). However, the school outperformed the state average in mathematics proficiency in all grade levels, with a particularly strong performance in 4th grade (68.18% vs. 48.85%). Unfortunately, the school's science proficiency in 5th grade (18.52%) is significantly lower than the state average (40.54%), indicating a potential area for improvement.
Despite the school's high per-student spending ($16,139) and low student-teacher ratio (9.5), which suggest the district is investing resources in the school, the academic outcomes do not yet reflect this investment. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% is also higher than the state average, which may be contributing to the lower academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that Lyman Elementary - 04 is a school that is struggling academically, particularly in ELA and science, and there may be opportunities for improvement in teaching and learning strategies, attendance, and resource allocation.
