Summary:
The 57225 zip code area is home to 4 schools in the Clark School District 12-2, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 128 out of 147 school districts in South Dakota and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, there are notable differences in performance among the schools.
Clark Elementary - 02 stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with the largest student enrollment, the highest test scores across various subjects and grade levels, and a particularly impressive 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 75%. In contrast, Silver Lake Colony - 07, a small school with only 20 students, struggles with low proficiency rates in multiple subjects and grade levels, despite having some notable strengths in English Language Arts.
The data also reveals significant disparities in other key metrics, such as graduation rates, dropout rates, spending per student, and free and reduced-price lunch rates. While Clark High School - 01 has a relatively low dropout rate of 2.6%, its 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% is slightly below the state average, and its performance on state assessments has declined over the past three years. Addressing the district-wide issue of chronic absenteeism, which affects all schools at a rate of 20.2%, will also be crucial for improving educational outcomes for students in the 57225 zip code area.
