Summary:
The Lead-Deadwood School District 40-1 in South Dakota has one elementary school, Lead-Deadwood Elementary - 03, which serves grades K-5 and has 293 students. The school's performance is mixed, with some bright spots but also areas for improvement compared to district and state averages.
Lead-Deadwood Elementary - 03 has been ranked 139th out of 201 South Dakota elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 2-star rating. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are close to the district and state averages, but its mathematics proficiency rates lag behind. In 5th grade science, the school's proficiency rate is also below the district and state. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 6.1% is lower than the state average, which could be a positive indicator.
The school district spends $18,368 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, which could be beneficial for student learning and support. However, with 33.11% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may serve a higher proportion of students from low-income families, which could present additional challenges.
