Summary:
The Eagle Butte School District 20-1 in South Dakota is home to two elementary schools: Eagle Butte Upper Elementary - 03 and Eagle Butte Primary - 02. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and face significant challenges, with both schools performing well below state averages on key metrics.
Neither school stands out as a clear standout in the district, as both have consistently low performance indicators. The schools have very low statewide rankings, with Eagle Butte Upper Elementary - 03 ranking 288 out of 300 South Dakota elementary schools and Eagle Butte Primary - 02 ranking 201 out of 214. Both schools also struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 20.2%, well above the state average. Additionally, the schools' proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels.
Despite the low performance, the schools in the Eagle Butte School District 20-1 have a relatively high spending per student of $27,077, suggesting that factors other than funding may be contributing to the poor academic outcomes. The district also faces challenges with high poverty levels, as 100% of students at both schools receive free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and challenges faced by the elementary schools in the Eagle Butte School District 20-1, and further investigation may be needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted interventions to address these issues.
