Middle Schools in Winner School District 59-2

Winner School District 59-2 in South Dakota has a single middle school, Winner Middle School - 02, serving grades 6-8. The data shows that this school has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, with particularly low proficiency rates in 8th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Winner Middle School - 02 has struggled to meet academic benchmarks, ranking in the bottom half of South Dakota middle schools in recent years. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% is relatively high, which may be contributing to the low test scores. Additionally, over a third of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with higher socioeconomic challenges that can impact academic achievement.

Despite the district's relatively high spending of $10,769 per student, the resources do not appear to be translating into improved outcomes for Winner Middle School - 02. The school's consistently low performance suggests the need for targeted interventions and a re-evaluation of resource allocation to better support the academic needs of its students and address the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles.
