Summary:
The 57566 zip code in South Dakota is home to a single elementary school, He Dog Elementary - 05, which serves grades K-8 with 195 students. The school is part of the Todd County School District 66-1.
He Dog Elementary - 05 faces significant challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 72.8% and consistently low academic performance across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates range from 8.73% to 23.53%, well below the state average of 50.04%. In mathematics, only 8% of 3rd graders are proficient, compared to 53.46% statewide. Science proficiency in 8th grade is also low at 11.76%, versus 38.83% for the state.
Despite the school's struggles, it spends a relatively high amount per student ($13,472) and has a low student-teacher ratio of 17.4:1. However, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students, 100% of whom receive free or reduced-price lunch. The data suggests that the school may need additional targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to the low performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.
