Summary

Terry Redlin Elementary - 11 is a 412-student K–5 school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, serving families in the Sioux Falls School District 49-5. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 24% in English language arts (ELA), 20% in math and 20% in fifth-grade science, compared with state rates of 49%, 44% and 41%. The central takeaway is that results remain substantially below state levels in every reported subject.

Within the nearby group, however, the school is closer to the middle than to the bottom: its all-grade ELA and math results were below nearby-school averages of 32% and 27%, but nearby schools’ results ranged widely. Fifth-grade science was also below the nearby average of 23%. Against district rates, Terry Redlin trailed by 23 percentage points in ELA, 23 in math and 20 in science. Fourth-grade math is the clearest weak spot: 13% of students were proficient, compared with 29% in third grade and 16% in fifth. ELA improved by grade, from 19% in third to 28% in fifth, though it remained below the state at each grade.

Results have improved over the four years shown: ELA rose 4 percentage points and math rose 4, while fifth-grade science increased 2 points overall but fell from its 2023–2024 peak. SchoolDigger gave the school a 7th-percentile statewide standing and 0 stars in 2025–2026; its overall percentile has fluctuated, including 16 in 2024–2025. Some group rankings stand out: SchoolDigger’s percentile for how well the school serves African American students was 45, and for English Language Learner students was 44, compared with 7 overall; the ELL percentile rose from 8 in 2023–2024. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 10.8:1, while chronic absenteeism was 28%, above the district’s 25% and state’s 20%. In 2024–2025, 85% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, tied with Laura B. Anderson Elementary and below Lowell Elementary at 87%; these are contextual comparisons, not explanations for achievement.
