Summary:
The Irene-Wakonda Junior High - 04 is the sole middle school serving grades 7-8 in the Irene-Wakonda School District 13-3 in South Dakota. With an enrollment of 49 students, the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking between 91 and 114 out of 147 middle schools in the state.
Academically, Irene-Wakonda Junior High - 04 performs at or below the district and state averages in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's proficiency rates are particularly low in Mathematics, with all grade levels scoring below the district and state averages. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 5.8% is relatively low, which could be a positive factor contributing to its academic performance.
The school's 2-star rating by SchoolDigger suggests there is room for improvement, and further analysis of factors such as teaching quality, curriculum, and student support programs may be necessary to identify areas for targeted interventions. Additionally, with 32.65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school may have a higher proportion of students from lower-income families, which could impact academic outcomes. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $12,043, the data indicates that resources may not be the primary factor limiting academic performance.
