He Dog Elementary - 05

Summary:

He Dog Elementary - 05 is a public elementary school located in Parmelee, South Dakota, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 195 students. The school is part of the Todd County School District 66-1. Unfortunately, He Dog Elementary - 05 has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in South Dakota, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

One of the most concerning issues at He Dog Elementary - 05 is the extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 72.8% in the 2023-2024 school year to 84.2% in the 2021-2022 school year. These rates are significantly higher than the state average and the surrounding schools, such as Spring Creek Elementary - 07 and Rosebud Elementary - 04. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, is also significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 8.73% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50.04%.

Another notable finding is that He Dog Elementary - 05 ranks particularly low among schools with high percentages of male students (167 out of 170 SD elementary schools) and low-socioeconomic status students (118 out of 121 SD elementary schools) in the 2017-2018 school year. This suggests that the school and Todd County School District 66-1 need to implement more comprehensive and effective strategies to support the unique needs of these student populations. While the nearby schools also have relatively low performance, He Dog Elementary - 05 stands out as the lowest-performing school in the region, highlighting the urgent need for 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.
