Summary

Cameron Colony Elementary - 04 is a small public elementary school located in Viborg, South Dakota, serving grades K-8 with an enrollment of just 14 students. Despite its small size, the school demonstrates impressive academic achievement, outperforming the state and Viborg-Hurley School District averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for all grades.

The school's overall proficiency rates in ELA and Math are 57.15% and 57.14%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 50.93% and 43.49%. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade students excel in Science, with a 66.67% proficiency rate, significantly higher than the district's 43.33% and the state's 40.54%. However, the school's performance at the individual grade level is more mixed, with 3rd-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates falling below the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Cameron Colony Elementary - 04 stands out in its exceptional performance of specific student subgroups. Female students at the school rank 65th out of 291 South Dakota elementary schools, while its English Language Learner (ELL) students rank an impressive 21st out of 176. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which has fluctuated between 8.3% and 20.8% in recent years, is an area of concern that should be addressed to improve student engagement and academic outcomes.
