Summary:

The Haakon School District 27-1 in South Dakota is home to two elementary schools: Philip Elementary - 02 and Milesville Elementary - 08. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade in the rural Haakon County area.

Philip Elementary - 02 appears to be the stronger performing school overall, with higher test scores across most grade levels and subject areas compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Milesville Elementary - 08 has more uneven performance, with some standout results in certain grades but struggles in others.

These factors may contribute to the performance gap between the two schools. Overall, the Haakon School District 27-1 faces challenges in providing consistent, high-quality education across its elementary schools.
