Summary:

The 57216 zip code is home to a single outstanding elementary school, Big Stone City Elementary - 01, which serves students from grades K-5. This small school, with an enrollment of just 57 students, has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in South Dakota, reaching as high as 7th out of 206 schools in the 2015-2016 school year.

Big Stone City Elementary - 01 is part of the highly-rated Big Stone City School District 25-1, which is ranked 7th out of 147 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is exceptional, with 64.71% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly above the state averages. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% is lower than the state average, indicating strong student engagement and attendance.

Despite the school's high academic performance, a significant portion of its student population, 50.88%, comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the free/reduced lunch rate. However, the school's high spending per student, $31,435, and low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1, suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to support the educational needs of its students, which may be a contributing factor to the school's strong academic outcomes.
