Summary:
The Gayville-Volin School District 63-1 in South Dakota has only one middle school, Gayville-Volin Middle School - 03, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized assessments, ranking in the bottom half of South Dakota middle schools.
Gayville-Volin Middle School - 03 has struggled to meet proficiency standards, with only 34.69% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 22.45% proficient in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to state averages of 50.93% and 43.49%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 8th grade, with only 23.53% proficient in ELA and 11.76% in Math. Additionally, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate of 35.29% is below the state average of 42.51%.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $11,155 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which is slightly higher than the state average, the school's academic performance remains a concern. The high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 36.54% in the 2023-2024 school year, may indicate that the student population faces socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting their academic achievement. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.
