Summary:
The Dupree School District 64-2 in South Dakota consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals that the schools in this district are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests, high chronic absenteeism, and below-average graduation rates.
Across all three schools - Dupree Elementary, Dupree High School, and Dupree Junior High - academic performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates as low as 16.57% in mathematics compared to the state's 42.95%. The high school had slightly better performance, but still lagged behind state benchmarks. Chronic absenteeism rates are also very high, reaching nearly 50% at the junior high level.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, the schools in the Dupree School District have struggled to improve student outcomes over the past three years. This suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the district's practices, resource allocation, and targeted support for students to address the persistent academic and attendance challenges faced by the schools.
