Summary

Edgemont Elementary - 03 serves 93 students in PK–8 in Edgemont, South Dakota, as part of Edgemont School District 23-1. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was below the state in ELA, math and science, but above its district in all three. The clearest concern is seventh grade: ELA proficiency was 27% compared with 53% statewide, and math was 18% compared with 44%.

Fourth grade is a notable strength: ELA proficiency was 55%, above the state’s 48% and Hot Springs Elementary - 02’s 41%; math was 64%, compared with 49% statewide and 23% at Hot Springs. Across all grades, science was Edgemont’s strongest subject relative to the state and district, while math was fractionally furthest below the state. Against Hot Springs, Edgemont’s all-grades math was higher (31% vs. 23%), while its ELA was lower (36% vs. 44%). These nearby-school comparisons are limited because Hot Springs serves PK–5, while Edgemont serves PK–8.

Proficiency has improved since 2022–2023, rising 9 points in ELA, 7 in math and 12 in science, though science fell 15 points from its 2024–2025 peak. SchoolDigger places Edgemont at the 33rd percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026, above Hot Springs at the 18th percentile with 1 star; Edgemont’s school percentile was 41 the prior year. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 subgroup rankings show different levels of standing: its ranking for Special Education Students was at the 63rd percentile, compared with 41 overall, while its ranking for Multi-racial Students was at the 7th percentile. As context, in 2024–2025 Edgemont’s student-teacher ratio was 8.5, versus 12.4 at Hot Springs, and 52% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 36% there. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 17% at Edgemont, below the district’s 24%, the state’s 20% and Hot Springs’ 19%.
