Summary:
The Chamberlain School District 07-1 in South Dakota has one elementary school, Chamberlain Elementary - 03, which serves grades K-5 and has an enrollment of 397 students.
Chamberlain Elementary - 03 has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, going from 108 in 2021-2022 to 126 out of 201 South Dakota elementary schools in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are lower than both the state and district averages. However, the school's 5th-grade students performed better than the state and district in ELA, Mathematics, and Science, suggesting there may be effective teaching practices or curriculum that could be replicated in other grade levels.
The school faces some significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 53.4%. While the district's per-student spending is relatively high at $13,847, the school's student-teacher ratio of 9.7 is relatively low. Addressing the underlying factors, such as attendance and socioeconomic needs, may be crucial for improving the school's overall academic performance.
