The Jones County School District 37-3 in South Dakota is home to three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. The district is generally performing well, with the standout being Jones County Middle School - 04, which has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the state and maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Jones County High School - 01 has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from #15 out of 138 South Dakota high schools in 2022-2023 to #106 out of 141 in 2023-2024.
The district's schools have varying rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 27.45% at Jones County High School - 01 to 51.9% at Jones County Elementary - 02. This may indicate a need for additional support and resources for these students. The district also has higher chronic absenteeism rates than the state average, particularly at the middle school level, which is an area for improvement.
Overall, the Jones County School District 37-3 is performing well, with the district ranked 25th out of 126 districts in South Dakota and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. However, the decline in the high school's ranking and the need to address chronic absenteeism and low Mathematics proficiency rates are areas that the district should focus on improving.
