Scotland School District 04-3

The Scotland School District 04-3 in South Dakota is home to three schools: Scotland Elementary - 02, Scotland Middle School - 05, and Scotland High School - 01. These schools serve students from elementary through high school in the Scotland area.

Scotland Elementary - 02 stands out as the strongest performer in the district, with 65.71% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments. The school's 3rd and 4th grade students also outperformed the district and state averages in both subjects. Additionally, Scotland Elementary - 02 has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% compared to the district and state.

In contrast, Scotland High School - 01 has struggled to maintain its academic performance, with only 56.25% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA and 25% in Math. However, the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% and a low dropout rate of 2.6%, both of which are above the district and state averages. The district should investigate ways to improve academic outcomes at the middle and high school levels while maintaining the strong performance at the elementary school.
