Summary:
The Irene - Wakonda School District 13-3 in South Dakota has only one elementary school, Irene-Wakonda Elementary - 02, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 162 students.
While Irene-Wakonda Elementary - 02 has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate, its academic performance is concerning. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.35%), Mathematics (36.14%), and Science (23.81%) are all significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 96 out of 202 schools in 2021-2022 to 161 out of 201 schools in 2023-2024. This suggests a need for improvement in the school's instructional practices and support for student learning.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, these additional resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school serves a relatively high proportion of low-income students, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges it faces. Overall, the data indicates that Irene-Wakonda Elementary - 02 is an underperforming school that could benefit from a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting student learning and engagement.
