Summary:
The Garretson School District 49-4 in South Dakota has one elementary school, Garretson Elementary - 02, which serves grades PK-5 and has 243 students. The school's performance data shows it consistently underperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts, mathematics, and science proficiency.
Garretson Elementary - 02 is ranked 159 out of 201 South Dakota elementary schools and has a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 4.5%, which is relatively low, but the school may still need to address any barriers to regular attendance. Additionally, the school's free and reduced lunch rate of 22.22% suggests a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can inform the school's approach to supporting students' academic and social-emotional needs.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $10,942 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3, the academic performance data indicates the need for Garretson Elementary - 02 to closely examine its instructional practices and interventions to better support student learning and drive meaningful progress in student outcomes.
