Summary:
The Wagner Community School District 11-4 in South Dakota has only one elementary school, Wagner Elementary - 02, which serves grades K-4 with an enrollment of 345 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of South Dakota elementary schools for the past three years, indicating persistent academic struggles.
Wagner Elementary - 02 faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages, particularly in 4th grade. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 and higher-than-average spending per student of $15,682 may be potential strengths that could be leveraged to support student learning.
The data suggests that addressing the academic and socioeconomic needs of the Wagner Elementary - 02 community will require a multi-faceted approach. Further investigation into the specific challenges and needs of the school and its students could help inform targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
