Summary:
The 57430 zip code area is home to 6 schools in the Britton-Hecla School District 45-4, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the district as a whole has room for improvement, ranking 73 out of 126 districts in South Dakota, Britton-Hecla High School - 01 stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking among the top in the state.
The data reveals some interesting contrasts between the schools. Britton-Hecla Elementary - 02 and Britton-Hecla Middle School - 03 have mixed academic performance, with some grades and subjects exceeding district and state averages, while others fall behind. In contrast, the small rural schools, Westwood Rural Elementary - 05 and Sunset Colony Elementary - 04, face unique challenges, with high rates of economically disadvantaged students and lower academic performance.
Chronic absenteeism also appears to be an issue, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels, which could be a focus area for the district to improve student outcomes. Meanwhile, the small Sunset Colony High School - 06 boasts an exceptional 100% four-year graduation rate and 0% dropout rate, indicating strong student outcomes despite its size.
