Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 57325 zip code - Chamberlain Junior High - 02, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Chamberlain School District 07-1. The school has experienced fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 102 out of 147 schools in 2023-2024 to 118 out of 246 schools in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger star rating has also been inconsistent, varying from 1 star out of 5 in 2022-2023 to 3 stars out of 5 in 2024-2025.
Academically, Chamberlain Junior High - 02 has shown mixed results. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. However, in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are consistently lower than the district and state averages, with the 6th-grade proficiency rate being particularly low at 28.58% in 2024-2025. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate is also lower than the state average.
The school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.12% in 2023-2024. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $11,967 for the 2023-2024 school year and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.1, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes, particularly in Mathematics and Science. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds may be necessary to address these challenges.
