Best Public Schools in Viborg, SD

Summary:

The Viborg-Hurley School District in South Dakota is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Viborg-Hurley Elementary - 02 and Cameron Colony Elementary - 04) and one high school (Viborg-Hurley High School - 01). These schools serve the Viborg and surrounding communities, providing education from elementary through high school.

Among the standout schools in the district, Viborg-Hurley Elementary - 02 consistently ranks as one of the top elementary schools in South Dakota, earning 3-4 star ratings from SchoolDigger. Its students perform exceptionally well on state assessments, with proficiency rates often exceeding 50% in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, Cameron Colony Elementary - 04, a small rural school with just 14 students, has also demonstrated strong academic performance, ranking 103 out of 300 South Dakota elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

While the district's elementary schools have shown consistent high performance, the results at Viborg-Hurley High School - 01 are more mixed. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% and a low dropout rate of 2.6%, but its academic performance on state assessments is more varied, with 11th-grade students performing below the state average in Mathematics but exceeding the state average in English Language Arts. This suggests the high school may need to focus on improving its Mathematics instruction and support for students in that subject area.
