Summary:
The Edmunds Central School District 22-5 in South Dakota is home to two elementary schools: Edmunds Central Elementary - 05 and Boulder Colony School - 06. Both schools appear to be struggling academically, with Edmunds Central Elementary - 05 consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of South Dakota elementary schools and performing well below state averages on standardized tests.
Edmunds Central Elementary - 05 is the larger of the two schools, with 57 students enrolled, but it has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and only 45.83% of its students are proficient or better in English Language Arts and 29.17% in Mathematics. In contrast, Boulder Colony School - 06 is much smaller, with only 8 students enrolled, and lacks historical performance data, making it difficult to assess its overall effectiveness.
Despite the low performance, Edmunds Central Elementary - 05 spends a relatively high amount per student ($23,183) compared to the state average, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the solution to the district's challenges. The small sizes of the schools may also be contributing to the difficulties they face in providing a high-quality education. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and overall effectiveness of the elementary schools in the Edmunds Central School District 22-5, and further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues.
