Summary:

Zip code 57006 has six schools—four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school—with 3,465 students enrolled, from 316 at Hillcrest Elementary - 04 to 979 at Brookings High School - 01. The clearest finding for families is how much results vary among schools serving the same grade: 2025–2026 third-grade math proficiency ranged by 34 percentage points, and ELA by 20 points.

Dakota Prairie Elementary - 07 led the comparable third-grade group in 2025–2026, with 74% proficient in math and 54% in ELA—23 and 11 points above state results. Hillcrest Elementary - 04 also stood out at 59% in math and 53% in ELA, while Medary Elementary - 05 had the lowest results, at 41% and 34%; Hillcrest led Medary by 18 points in math and 19 in ELA. Camelot Intermediate - 06 was slightly above the state on its all-grade ELA and math measures, while George S. Mickelson Middle School - 02 was about even in ELA and 4 points below in math. Brookings High School - 01 exceeded state results on all three ACT subjects. Because schools serve different grades, the fairest direct comparisons are among the three schools with third-grade results.

Recent third-grade changes were sharply different: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Hillcrest Elementary - 04 rose 17 points in ELA and 18 in math, while Medary Elementary - 05 fell 16 points in ELA and 14 in math. Dakota Prairie Elementary - 07 had a mixed trend: ELA fell 7 points, while math rose 2. School context also differs: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 26% at Hillcrest and 27% at Medary, with student-teacher ratios of 13.4 and 12.6, respectively. These figures describe the schools but do not explain their score differences.
