Summary:
The Hot Springs School District 23-2 in South Dakota has one elementary school, Hot Springs Elementary - 02, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 332 students. The school faces several challenges, including underperformance in academic proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and serving a population with higher economic needs.
Hot Springs Elementary - 02 consistently underperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, over 32% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic need among the student population.
