Summary:

The Aberdeen School District 06-1 in South Dakota is home to 6 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance among these schools, with C C Lee Elementary and Lincoln Elementary consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while other schools in the district struggle to meet proficiency standards.

C C Lee Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. Lincoln Elementary also performs exceptionally well, ranking in the top 107 elementary schools in the state and boasting strong test scores, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, schools like Simmons Elementary, May Overby Elementary, and O M Tiffany Elementary generally have lower proficiency rates compared to the top-performing schools.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement, with schools that have higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Lincoln Elementary, generally performing worse than schools with lower percentages, like C C Lee Elementary. Additionally, the district as a whole faces a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting student learning and achievement across all schools.
