Summit School District 54-6

Summary:

The Summit School District 54-6 in South Dakota operates two schools: Summit Elementary - 02 and Summit High School - 01. The district as a whole is ranked 138 out of 147 districts in the state and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is a low-performing district.

Summit High School - 01 stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% and a low dropout rate of 2.6% for the 2024-2025 school year. However, both schools generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, with Summit Elementary - 02 having only 22.08% proficiency in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 50.93% in 2024-2025.

The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% at Summit Elementary - 02 and the significant differences in test scores between the elementary and high school levels within the district. Addressing these issues, as well as the overall low performance of the district, will likely be important focus areas for the Summit School District 54-6 moving forward.
