Summary:
The Oldham-Ramona-Rutland 39-6 school district in South Dakota consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools, with the Oldham-Ramona-Rutland Elementary school standing out as the highest-performing, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the Camridge Colony School and Spring Lake Colony Elementary have significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages.
The Oldham-Ramona-Rutland High School has a strong 86.4% four-year graduation rate, higher than the district and state averages, and a low 2.6% dropout rate, which is also lower than the district and state averages. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 11th grade are lower than the district and state averages. The Spring Lake Colony High School has an exceptionally high student-teacher ratio of 155.5, significantly higher than the other schools in the district.
The data suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure more equitable distribution of funding and support across all schools. The significant difference in spending per student between the high-performing Oldham-Ramona-Rutland High School and the low-performing Spring Lake Colony High School is noteworthy. Additionally, the district could benefit from fostering collaboration and sharing of best practices between the higher-performing and lower-performing schools to help improve overall academic outcomes.
