Summary:
The Clark School District 12-2 in South Dakota consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 128 out of 147 districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, Clark Elementary - 02 stands out as the top-performing school, with the highest test scores in the district and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Another standout is Silver Lake Colony - 07, a small elementary school with the highest overall test scores in the district, though it also has a high chronic absenteeism rate. The district's graduation rates are relatively high, with Clark High School - 01 having a 4-year graduation rate of 86.4%.
However, the majority of the district's elementary and middle schools perform below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The smaller colony schools, such as Fordham Colony Elementary - 04 and Hillcrest Colony Elementary - 05, face unique challenges, including high rates of economic disadvantage and lower test scores. Addressing the needs of these smaller, rural schools and tackling the district's high chronic absenteeism rates may be key priorities for improving overall student outcomes in the Clark School District 12-2.
