General Beadle Elementary - 01

Summary:

General Beadle Elementary - 01 is an elementary school in Rapid City, South Dakota that serves 444 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Rapid City Area School District 51-4, which is ranked 99 out of 126 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

General Beadle Elementary - 01 faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, well below average test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, and 100% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to other elementary schools in the district, such as Meadowbrook Elementary - 10 and Grandview Elementary - 06, General Beadle Elementary - 01 consistently ranks among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, Native American students, and students with low socioeconomic status.

Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the district and state averages. This suggests that the school may be allocating resources towards smaller class sizes and additional support, but these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's low performance, such as attendance, family engagement, and targeted academic interventions, will be crucial for improving the educational experiences and outcomes of the students at General Beadle Elementary - 01.

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.
