Among the standout schools, Doland Junior High - 02 has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 3.9, which could indicate more individualized attention for students, though its statewide ranking of 169 out of 246 middle schools and 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars suggest room for improvement. Doland High School - 01 stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 86.4% and a low dropout rate of 2.6%, but its test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly below the state average.
The schools in the 57436 zip code area show a mixed picture, with significant disparities in test scores both within the district and compared to state averages. All three schools with available data have a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, well above the state average. The free and reduced-price lunch rates range from 20% to 70%, suggesting a diverse student population with varying socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite these differences, the district appears to allocate resources fairly evenly, with spending per student ranging from $16,708 to $20,310 across the schools.
