Summary:
The city of Wetonka, South Dakota, has only one school serving grades K-8 - Long Lake Colony Elementary - 05. This small school, with just 27 students, is part of the Leola School District 44-2, which is ranked 67 out of 147 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Long Lake Colony Elementary - 05 appears to be performing well above the district and state averages in English Language Arts, particularly in the upper elementary grades. However, its mathematics performance is more uneven, with some grade levels scoring below the district and state, while others are performing better. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 88.89% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite its small size and high-poverty student population, Long Lake Colony Elementary - 05 has a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which may contribute to its strong performance in English Language Arts. However, the school's limited resources and unique challenges may also impact its overall academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics and science. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and continuing to support the school's strengths in English Language Arts could be important areas of focus for the Leola School District.
