Summary:
The Elkton School District 05-3 in South Dakota has only one high school, Elkton High School - 01, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced some challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating and its academic proficiency rates lagging behind state averages.
Elkton High School - 01 has a statewide ranking that has ranged from 88th out of 138 schools in 2022-2023 to 111th out of 141 schools in the current 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate of 75.0% is below the state average, and its dropout rate of 3.1% is slightly higher than the state average. Academically, the school lags behind state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $17,633 and a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 12.8, Elkton High School - 01 serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 34.13%. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in addressing the needs of its student population. The district and school leadership may need to investigate the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies to improve student achievement and overall school performance.
