Best Elementary Schools in South Dakota for Multi-racial Students
Check out our new feature available only on SchoolDigger: rankings for different groups of students in South Dakota!
Every year, the South Dakota Department of Education shares test results for various student groups in each school. We use these results to find out which schools do best for each group and list them from the best to the worst.
Additionally, we also compare the performance of the subgroup to the performance of the school as a whole. This makes it easy to see if, for example, Multi-racial students are overperforming or underperforming their peers in each school.
