Rutland Elementary - 02

Summary:

Rutland Elementary - 02 is a public elementary school in Rutland, South Dakota, serving 79 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Rutland School District 39-4. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, low student-teacher ratio, and high spending per student, despite its relatively homogeneous racial makeup compared to nearby schools.

Rutland Elementary - 02 consistently outperforms the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 62.5% of students proficient or better in ELA in 2022-2023, compared to 49.7% statewide and 56.88% in the Rutland School District. The school also has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.8 to 9.3 over the past three years, significantly lower than nearby schools like Camelot Intermediate - 06 and Madison Elementary - 07. Additionally, Rutland Elementary - 02 spends more per student ($13,079 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average and many of the nearby schools.

While Rutland Elementary - 02 stands out for its strong performance, its ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 23rd out of 206 schools in 2018-2019 to 124th out of 202 schools in 2021-2022. This suggests the school's performance may be variable, and it would be worth investigating the factors contributing to these changes. Additionally, some nearby schools, such as Oldham-Ramona Elementary - 02 and Colman Elementary - 03, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics, providing interesting points of comparison.

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.
