Summary

In Platte, SD, Platte - Geddes Elementary - 02 serves 230 students in grades K–5. Its 2025–2026 results were above district and state levels in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics, and fifth-grade science was also above both. Mathematics is the clearest strength: 83% of students were proficient, compared with 67% in the district and 44% statewide, giving the school its largest advantage over the state among the reported all-grades subjects.

The school’s all-grades results also exceeded the reported results at each nearby school: 66% in ELA and 83% in mathematics, versus nearby results of 42%–55% in ELA and 45%–73% in mathematics. Fourth-grade ELA is a relative weak spot within the school: 54% were proficient, compared with 70% in third grade and 74% in fifth grade, though the fourth-grade result remained above the district and state rates of 48% each. Chronic absenteeism was low at 3%, below the district’s 9% and the state’s 20%, but two nearby schools reported 0%. Nearby schools serve grades K–8 rather than K–5, and many grade-level peer results are unavailable, so the all-grades comparisons are not grade-for-grade.

Results have risen overall since 2022–2023: ELA proficiency increased by 2 percentage points and mathematics by 7 points, although the school’s advantage over the state did not grow every year. SchoolDigger ranked the school 11th of 203 South Dakota schools, at the 95th percentile and with 5 stars in 2025–2026; it was at the 96th percentile with 5 stars in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger’s group-specific rankings show a notable contrast: its effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students was at the 11th percentile, far below the school’s overall 96th percentile in 2024–2025. Its ranking for female students rose from the 71st percentile in 2023–2024 to the 89th in 2025–2026. The student-teacher ratio was 12.9 in 2024–2025, close to the nearby-school average of about 12.5. The school reported 24% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; this is a measure of the student population, not an explanation for results.
