Summary:
The 57568 zip code area is home to two schools, Lyman High School and Lyman Middle School, both part of the Lyman School District 42-1. While Lyman High School has performed well in English Language Arts and Science assessments, it has struggled with Mathematics, with only 15.38% of 11th-grade students proficient or better. In contrast, Lyman Middle School has performed below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, and has experienced a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%.
Lyman High School has a 86.4% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average, but the school's overall ranking of 89 out of 166 South Dakota high schools suggests room for improvement. Lyman Middle School, ranked 122 out of 246 South Dakota middle schools, has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a factor in its academic performance. Both schools have similar per-student spending, but Lyman High School has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its stronger academic results.
The data provides valuable insights into the performance and characteristics of the schools in the 57568 zip code area. While Lyman High School has some areas of strength, such as its high graduation rate and English Language Arts performance, both schools face challenges that need to be addressed, such as the low Mathematics proficiency at Lyman High School and the high chronic absenteeism at Lyman Middle School. These findings can inform targeted interventions and resource allocation to support student success in the Lyman School District.
