Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the city of Winner, South Dakota - Winner Middle School - 02. This school serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Winner School District 59-2.
Winner Middle School - 02 is currently ranked 174 out of 246 middle schools in South Dakota for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently underperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, the school's ELA proficiency rate is 40.4% compared to the state average of 50.93%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate is just 19.87% compared to the state average of 43.49%.
Other notable findings include a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 37.5%, and a declining school ranking over the past year. While the school's spending per student is relatively high at $10,769, the academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning. Addressing these challenges should be a priority for the school and district to ensure that students in Winner receive the support and education they need to succeed.
