Summary:
The Iroquois School District 02-3 in South Dakota has only one elementary school, Iroquois Elementary - 04, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Dakota elementary schools and has significantly lower proficiency rates in core academic subjects compared to the state averages.
Iroquois Elementary - 04 has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 46.09% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student in the district, the school's performance remains poor, raising questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the school and district.
The school's consistently low performance on standardized assessments, with only 31.25% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 14.58% in Mathematics, suggests that the school may be facing challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, teacher quality, and other factors may provide valuable insights to help address the underlying issues and support the school's improvement efforts.
