Summary:
The 57532 zip code in South Dakota is home to a single middle school, Stanley County Middle School - 02, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Stanley County School District 57-1. While the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent year, its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, suggesting it may be underperforming compared to other middle schools in the state.
Academically, Stanley County Middle School - 02 has mixed results, with English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates above the state average in some grades but below in others, and math proficiency rates consistently below the state average across all grades. However, the school's science proficiency rate for 8th graders is above the state average. One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which is significantly higher than the state average and could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,190, which is higher than the state average, it's unclear if this increased spending is translating into improved student outcomes. With only 97 students enrolled, Stanley County Middle School - 02 is a small school, which may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of personalized attention and resource allocation. Overall, the data suggests that the school is facing some challenges in terms of academic performance, school ranking, and student attendance, and further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes and develop strategies to address these issues.
