Summary:
ZIP code 57570 has one school, Rosebud Elementary - 04, serving kindergarten through grade 5 and enrolling 292 students. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were well below state rates in every reported measure: all-grade ELA was 19% versus 49% statewide, math was 9% versus 44%, and fifth-grade science was 17% versus 41. The school’s chronic absenteeism was also high at 76%, compared with 73% in Todd County School District 66-1 and 20% statewide. The most important finding is that proficiency remains substantially below state levels, even as scores have improved.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison among local schools because Rosebud is the only school in the ZIP code. Its results were nevertheless above district figures on the reported comparisons: all-grade ELA was 19% at Rosebud versus 17% districtwide, a 3-point advantage; Rosebud was also ahead in grade 3 math and fifth-grade science. The school remained far below state results overall, with gaps of 30 points in ELA, 34 in math and 24 in fifth-grade science. SchoolDigger ranked Rosebud 192nd of 203 schools, in the 5th percentile, with 0 stars for 2025–26.
Scores rose in all three measures with year-to-year comparisons: ELA increased 6 points, math 4 points and fifth-grade science 9 points. The school’s gaps to state proficiency narrowed by 8 points in ELA, 4 in math and 8 in science, but the results remain well behind state rates. SchoolDigger’s ranking was 278th of 300, in the 7th percentile, with 0 stars the prior year, so its relative ranking did not improve alongside the test scores. For context, Rosebud’s student–teacher ratio was 13.6 in 2024–25, and 99% of students were directly certified for free meals that year; the school is also flagged as likely serving free meals to all students. With only one school in the ZIP code, these figures cannot show how Rosebud compares with other local schools.
