Andes Central Elementary - 02

Summary:

Andes Central Elementary - 02 is a public elementary school located in Lake Andes, South Dakota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 189 students. The school is part of the Andes Central School District 11-1, which is ranked 122 out of 126 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Andes Central Elementary - 02 consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of South Dakota elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages, with only around 30% of students proficient or better in these subjects. Compared to the Andes Central School District and other nearby schools, such as Clearfield Colony Elementary - 07, Armour Elementary - 02, and Wagner Elementary - 02, Andes Central Elementary - 02 also underperforms, with lower proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas.

The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between Andes Central Elementary - 02 and the nearby Lakeview Colony Elementary - 05, which is part of the same school district. Lakeview Colony Elementary - 05 consistently outperforms Andes Central Elementary - 02 and the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This highlights the significant challenges faced by high-poverty schools, such as Andes Central Elementary - 02, which has a high percentage of Native American students and a very high rate of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest that the district is investing resources into the school, but these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating a need for more targeted interventions and support.

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.
