Summary:
The Eagle Butte School District 20-1 in South Dakota is home to two elementary schools: Eagle Butte Upper Elementary - 03 and Eagle Butte Primary - 02. These schools serve a predominantly Native American student population and face significant challenges, with both schools consistently performing poorly compared to state averages.
The data reveals that both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom 1-2% of South Dakota elementary schools, with Eagle Butte Upper Elementary - 03 ranking 203 out of 204 in 2022-2023 and Eagle Butte Primary - 02 ranking 201 out of 214 in 2011-2012. The schools' academic performance is also concerning, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling far below the state averages.
Despite the high spending per student of $29,596 and relatively small class sizes, the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and class size may be contributing to the poor performance. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, indicating high levels of poverty in the district, likely play a significant role in the challenges faced by these schools. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and challenges faced by the elementary schools in the Eagle Butte School District 20-1, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
