Summary

Located in Gregory, South Dakota, Gregory Elementary - 02 serves 237 students from prekindergarten through fifth grade, more than nearby Colome Elementary - 02 or Burke Elementary - 02. Its clearest strength is English Language Arts (ELA): the latest results put it well ahead of the state and its district, and first among these three nearby schools.

In 2025–2026, 71% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 49% statewide and 61% in the Gregory School District 26-4. Math was less distinctive: 51% were proficient, 7 points above the state and 4 points above the district, but well below Burke’s 70%; Colome was at 35%. Chronic absenteeism was another positive comparison: Gregory’s 9% rate was below the state’s 20% and Colome’s 24%, though above Burke’s 5%.

Results have moved in different directions: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency rose 11 points while math fell 7 points, including a 16-point math drop in the latest year. SchoolDigger gives the school a 68th-percentile ranking and 3 stars, between Burke (87th percentile, 4 stars) and Colome (20th percentile, 1 star). Its statewide ranking for how well it serves students with low socioeconomic status stands out at the 94th percentile, 26 points above its overall ranking. In 2024–2025, its special-education ranking was lower, at the 48th percentile versus an overall 82nd; that subgroup ranking is available for only one year, so a trend cannot be assessed. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 13.6, the highest among these schools. The school’s reported free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 44% in 2024–2025; this is an observation about the student population, not an explanation for its results.
