Lowell Elementary - 28

Summary:

Lowell Elementary - 28 is a public elementary school serving 358 students in grades K-5 in the Sioux Falls School District 49-5 in South Dakota. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom quarter of South Dakota elementary schools over the past decade, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, and has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 73.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Lowell Elementary - 28 significantly underperforms compared to the Sioux Falls School District and the state of South Dakota on standardized tests, with only 31% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 32.16% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the district and state averages of around 50%. The school also has a much higher chronic absenteeism rate at 26.7%, compared to the district and state averages of around 11.6% and 11.3%, respectively. While the school ranks highly for African American and Hispanic students, it ranks very low for students with special needs and low socioeconomic status.

Interestingly, Lowell Elementary - 28 is located in close proximity to several other Sioux Falls elementary schools, including the high-performing Challenge Center - 51 and Sonia Sotomayor Elementary - 65, which significantly outperform Lowell on academic measures. Additionally, the school spends more per student ($11,327 in 2022-2023) compared to the district average, but this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by the school.

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.
