Edgemont Elementary - 03

Summary:

Edgemont Elementary - 03 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the small town of Edgemont, South Dakota. The school is part of the Edgemont School District 23-1, which is ranked 76 out of 126 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Edgemont Elementary - 03 has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, its performance has generally been declining. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 114th out of 201 South Dakota elementary schools and received a 2-star rating. This is due in part to the school's consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages, and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the nearby Hot Springs Elementary - 02, which is part of a different district, outperforms Edgemont Elementary - 03 in several key metrics.

Despite the higher per-student spending at Edgemont Elementary - 03 compared to the state average, the school's academic performance remains below the state and district averages. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the factors contributing to the school's underperformance. The school and Edgemont School District 23-1 may need to closely examine their strategies and resource allocation to address the challenges facing Edgemont Elementary - 03 and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
