Summary:
The Marion School District 60-3 in South Dakota has only one elementary school, Marion Elementary - 02, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 105 students. While the school's performance has declined in recent years, it still performs better than the state average in certain grade levels.
Marion Elementary - 02 has a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which is likely contributing to its declining academic performance. The school's proficiency rates in ELA (48.89%) and Math (44.44%) are slightly below the state averages, but its 5th-grade Science proficiency (53.85%) is higher than the statewide average. The school's spending per student of $17,267 is relatively high, suggesting that resources are not the primary factor in the performance issues.
Despite the challenges, Marion Elementary - 02 has some strengths, such as higher proficiency in specific grade levels. Further investigation into the root causes of the performance issues and strategies to address them could be beneficial for the school and the Marion School District 60-3.
