Summary:
The Deuel School District 19-4 in South Dakota has only one elementary school, Clear Lake Elementary - 02, which serves grades PK-5 and has 259 students. While the school has access to significant resources, with higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average, its academic performance has been declining over the past three years.
Clear Lake Elementary - 02 currently holds a 2-star rating and a statewide rank of 124 out of 201 South Dakota elementary schools. The school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages for all grades, and the 3rd-grade proficiency rate being especially low at 28.57%. In contrast, the school's performance in Mathematics and Science is relatively stronger, with proficiency rates above the state average in Mathematics and a significantly higher 5th-grade proficiency rate in Science compared to the state.
The school's declining performance and uneven academic proficiency suggest that the district and school leadership may need to investigate the underlying factors contributing to these trends and develop targeted strategies to address the identified areas of concern, particularly in the area of ELA instruction and support. By leveraging the school's available resources and addressing the specific challenges it faces, the district can work to improve the educational outcomes for the students at Clear Lake Elementary - 02.
