Gregory School District 26-4

The Gregory School District 26-4 in South Dakota is home to three schools: one elementary, one middle, and one high school. Based on the available data, Gregory Elementary - 02 stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best elementary schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gregory Elementary - 02 boasts significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.5%, further indicating its success in supporting student learning. In contrast, Gregory High School - 01 and Gregory Junior High - 04 have not performed as strongly, receiving lower 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger and exhibiting lower proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics.

Despite the differences in academic performance, all three schools in the Gregory School District 26-4 have relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, suggesting that the district is allocating resources fairly and investing in its students. The data highlights the need to further investigate the factors contributing to the performance gaps between the elementary and secondary schools, in order to replicate the success of the top-performing elementary school and address the challenges faced by the middle and high school students.
