Summary:
Clark School District 12-2 in South Dakota has only one middle school, Clark Middle School - 03. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Dakota middle schools, with below-average performance on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. While the school has a relatively small class size and the district spends more per student than the state average, the academic outcomes remain a concern.

The school's 8th grade science proficiency rate is also significantly lower than the state average, at 15.79% compared to 38.83%.

Additionally, Clark School District 12-2 has a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Clark Middle School - 03 compared to the district average, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement. The district and school leaders may need to explore more comprehensive strategies to address these issues and support student success at the middle school level.
