Elementary Schools in Lemmon School District 52-4


Summary:

The Lemmon School District 52-4 in South Dakota is home to a single elementary school, Lemmon Elementary - 02, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, indicating a relatively stable level of performance compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Lemmon Elementary - 02 has some academic strengths, with students performing above the state average on Smarter Balanced Assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. However, the school faces challenges with a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which could be an area of focus for improvement. Additionally, a relatively high percentage of students (42%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may need to provide additional support to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.

Despite these challenges, Lemmon Elementary - 02 appears to be allocating resources effectively, with a higher per-student spending of $12,454 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, which may contribute to its above-average academic performance. Overall, while the school faces some areas for improvement, it seems to be providing a solid educational foundation for the students in the Lemmon School District 52-4.
