Colome School District 59-3

Summary:

The Colome Consolidated 59-3 district in South Dakota operates three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. These schools serve a student population with a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 52.38% to 72.22%.

Among the three schools, Colome Elementary - 02 stands out as the strongest performer, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across all grade levels. This elementary school has maintained a 100% proficiency rate in both subjects for 3rd-grade students, a remarkable achievement.

The school has a strong 86.4% four-year graduation rate and a low 2.6% dropout rate, which are positive indicators. However, the school's 11th-grade students have performed below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, though they have outperformed in Science.
