Summary:

The 57658 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Wakpala Elementary - 02, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 84 students. The school is part of the Smee School District 15-3, which is ranked 135 out of 147 school districts in South Dakota and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wakpala Elementary - 02 has a relatively low statewide ranking, placing 192nd out of 300 South Dakota elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is mixed, with above-average scores in 3rd grade ELA but below-average scores in overall ELA, Math, and 5th grade Science. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2% in the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 students per teacher and relatively high per-student spending of $25,308 in the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest a focus on providing additional support and resources to the school's high-poverty student population, which is 100% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Further analysis and investigation would be needed to fully understand the school's performance and identify potential areas for improvement.
