Summary:
The city of Raymond, South Dakota has only one school, Clark Colony Elementary - 05, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 19 students. The school is part of the Doland School District 56-2, which is ranked 116 out of 147 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Clark Colony Elementary - 05 has a mixed academic performance, with some grade levels scoring above the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while others are significantly below. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% is higher than the state average, which could be a concern. However, the school's small size may contribute to a high student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, potentially providing more individualized attention for students. The school's spending per student of $16,808 is relatively high compared to the district and state, but it's unclear if this higher spending is translating into better academic outcomes.
Overall, while Clark Colony Elementary - 05 is a small, rural school with some areas of strength, it also has room for improvement in certain subject areas and grade levels. The school's performance on standardized tests and high chronic absenteeism rate suggest that further analysis and support may be needed to help the school and its students reach their full potential.
