Funding

How South Dakota funds schools

South Dakota funds districts through a General State Aid formula built on a target teacher salary model rather than a flat per-pupil amount: the state divides each district’s enrollment by a target student-to-teacher ratio, multiplies the resulting teacher count by the statewide target salary ($62,821 for FY2026) plus benefits and overhead, subtracts the district’s local effort from the general-fund property levy, and pays the remainder as state aid.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Stanley County School District 57-1 are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results
