Summary

Bridges At Horace Mann - 52 is an elementary school in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, serving 55 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Sioux Falls School District 49-5, which is ranked 90 out of 147 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Bridges At Horace Mann - 52 has consistently performed significantly below the district and state averages on academic measures. The school's statewide ranking has been in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in South Dakota, with only 11.11% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 49.18% and 42.76% for the district, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20.2% to 31.1% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Sonia Sotomayor Elementary - 65, which ranks in the top 5% of schools in the state and has significantly higher test scores, the performance of Bridges At Horace Mann - 52 is notably worse. This suggests that simply increasing funding and resources may not be enough to improve the school's outcomes, and that other factors, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student engagement, may be more important in addressing the school's challenges.
