Summary

Flandreau Elementary - 04 is a public elementary school serving 270 students in grades K-4 in Flandreau, South Dakota, which is part of the Flandreau School District 50-3. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on academic assessments, with only 40.82% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 37.76% proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 50.93% and 43.49%, respectively.

Flandreau Elementary - 04's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Native American and Multi-racial students performing relatively well, but Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Low Socioeconomic Status students performing very poorly. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 10.4% to 20.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Dell Rapids Elementary - 02, which is about 16 miles away, Flandreau Elementary - 04 generally underperforms on academic measures and has a much lower school ranking. The school's inconsistent performance and equity concerns suggest that it may need to implement more effective and targeted improvement strategies to better support all of its students and improve overall academic outcomes.
