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. In contrast, Colome Middle School - 03 has struggled to match the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 20% to 53.85% across different grade levels.
At the high school level, Colome High School - 01 has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, indicating consistent performance. 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.
