Summary:
The Woonsocket School District 55-4 in South Dakota is home to two schools: Woonsocket Elementary - 03 (grades PK-8) and Woonsocket High School - 01 (grades 9-12). While the high school boasts a strong 100% 4-year graduation rate, the district as a whole is underperforming compared to state averages, with both schools showing room for improvement in academic proficiency, particularly in English Language Arts.
Woonsocket Elementary - 03 stands out for its relatively high math proficiency rates, with 8th grade math proficiency reaching 68.18% in 2023-2024. However, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 130th out of 204 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 149th out of 201 in 2023-2024. The district-wide chronic absenteeism rate at the elementary school is also higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance.
On the other hand, Woonsocket High School - 01 has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 47th out of 134 high schools in 2021-2022 to 118th out of 141 in 2023-2024. While the high school spends significantly more per student than the elementary school, this does not seem to translate to better academic performance, with the school performing particularly poorly in Mathematics (21.74% proficient in 2023-2024).
