Summary:

The Wilmot School District 54-7 in South Dakota is home to three schools: Wilmot Elementary - 02, Wilmot High School - 01, and Wilmot Middle School - 03. Overall, the district is performing poorly, ranking 120th out of 147 districts in the state and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

None of the three schools in the district stand out as clear performers. Wilmot Elementary - 02 has a 2-star rating and ranks in the bottom half of South Dakota elementary schools, with test scores below state averages across all subjects and grade levels. Wilmot High School - 01 also has a 2-star rating and ranks in the bottom third of South Dakota high schools, with test scores below state averages, particularly in math. Wilmot Middle School - 03 has the lowest performance, with a 1-star rating and test scores that are the lowest of the three schools, with only around 15-30% of students proficient in ELA and math.

The district as a whole faces challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism and a large percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the low performance, the district is spending relatively high amounts per student and maintaining low student-teacher ratios, suggesting potential issues with the efficient use of resources. Overall, the data highlights the need for the Wilmot School District 54-7 to closely examine its practices and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes across all grade levels.
