Summary:
The Winner School District 59-2 in South Dakota has only one middle school, Winner Middle School - 02, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 94th out of 143 South Dakota middle schools in 2021-2022 to 122nd out of 150 in 2022-2023.
While the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates were slightly lower than the state average, its Mathematics proficiency rates were significantly below both the state and district averages. This underperformance in Mathematics appears to be an area of concern for the school. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 36.3%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it appears to have adequate resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending that is on par with state averages. However, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing these underlying factors may be crucial for improving student outcomes at Winner Middle School - 02.
