Summary:

The Wagner Community School District 11-4 in South Dakota operates four schools, including two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. The district faces several challenges, including declining performance at the elementary level, inconsistent results at the middle school, and consistently high rates of economic disadvantage across all schools.
