Summary

Atall Elementary - 17 is a small public elementary school serving grades K-8 in Union Center, South Dakota, with just 07 students enrolled. It is part of the Meade School District 46-1, which is ranked 65 out of 147 school districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Atall Elementary - 17 has a mixed academic performance, with strengths in Mathematics and select grade levels in English Language Arts (ELA), but significant challenges in Science proficiency. The school outperformed the district and state averages in Mathematics, with 62.5% of students proficient or better, compared to 45.52% for the district and 43.49% for the state. However, the school's Science proficiency rates were 0% across all grades, 5th grade, and 8th grade, which is a major concern. The school also stands out for its exceptional 100% proficiency rates in 3rd and 6th-grade ELA, significantly higher than the district and state.

One area of concern for Atall Elementary - 17 is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 8.3% to 20.9% over the past few years, notably higher than the district and state averages. Despite these challenges, the school appears to be allocating resources efficiently, with a high per-student spending ranging from $16,540 to $20,264 and a very low student-teacher ratio of 4.8 to 6 students per teacher, significantly lower than the nearby Hereford Elementary - 08 and Central Meade County School - 09.
