Best Public Schools in Zip Code 57362

Summary:

The 57362 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Miller 29-4 school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 107 out of 147 in South Dakota, there is a stark contrast in the performance of the schools within the district.

Miller Elementary - 02 stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, are significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Millerdale Colony Elementary - 11 appears to be the weakest performing school, with a 0-star rating and 0% proficiency across all subjects and grade levels.

The data also reveals that Miller High School - 01 struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state. The district's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% for both Miller Elementary - 02 and Miller Junior High - 04 is also a concern that the district may need to address.
