Summary:
The 57638 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Lemmon Elementary - 02, which serves grades K-6 and is part of the Lemmon School District 52-4. While the school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grades. However, performance varies by grade level, with 3rd and 4th grades generally scoring higher than 5th and 6th grades.
Lemmon Elementary - 02 serves a student population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by a free/reduced lunch rate of 42%. Despite this, the school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,454. These factors may contribute to the school's academic strengths, particularly in ELA and Math, where it exceeds the state's proficiency rates.
While Lemmon Elementary - 02 appears to be a solid-performing school within its district and the state, there may be opportunities to further investigate the factors that contribute to its academic performance and areas for improvement. The school's variability in proficiency rates across grade levels suggests the need for a deeper understanding of the school's strengths and challenges, as well as how it compares to other schools serving similar demographics within South Dakota.
