Elementary Schools in Faith School District 46-2

Summary:

The Faith School District 46-2 in South Dakota is home to two elementary schools: Faith Elementary - 02 and Maurine Elementary - 04.

Faith Elementary - 02 appears to be the standout school in the district, with consistently higher test scores in mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages.
