Summary:
Roscoe, South Dakota is home to a single middle school, Edmunds Central Middle School - 02, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has seen a steady decline in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 101 out of 150 schools in 2022-2023 to 187 out of 246 schools in 2024-2025. This decline is reflected in the school's below-average proficiency rates on Smarter Balanced Assessments, particularly in Mathematics.
Edmunds Central Middle School - 02 has a relatively small student population of 32 students, with a high percentage of 46.88% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population. Despite the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, its per-student spending of $15,705 is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.
While the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 37.5% is closer to the state average of 42.51%, the overall academic underperformance in English Language Arts and Mathematics suggests that the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum, instructional practices, and support for students in these subject areas. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Edmunds Central Middle School - 02.
