Summary

Edmunds Central Elementary - 05 is a public elementary school located in Roscoe, South Dakota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 64 students. The school is part of the Edmunds Central School District 22-5, which is ranked 69 out of 147 school districts in the state.

Edmunds Central Elementary - 05 has had a fluctuating academic performance, with its ranking among South Dakota elementary schools ranging from 96 out of 202 in 2020-2021 to 198 out of 201 in 2023-2024. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's performance is mixed, with 45% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 50% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 50.93% and 43.49%, respectively. However, the school performs better in certain grade levels, such as 4th grade ELA and 5th grade Mathematics and Science, where it exceeds the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Edmunds Central Elementary - 05 has a strong performance among its Native American and low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 1 out of 152 and 30 out of 237 South Dakota elementary schools in these subgroups, respectively, for the 2024-2025 school year. In comparison, the school's performance for its White and female students is relatively lower. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.0% in 2024-2025 to 20.8% in 2023-2024, which may be an area of concern. The school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on providing additional resources and support for its students.
