Edgemont School District 23-1

Situated in the southwestern region of South Dakota, Edgemont School District 23-1 operates as an active, independent public school system anchored at 715 Mogul Way in Edgemont. Classified within a rural remote setting, the district serves as a vital educational hub for its surrounding community, managing two operational school facilities that provide a seamless educational pathway from prekindergarten through the 12th grade. This comprehensive grade structure ensures local families have continuous access to public education, from early childhood foundational learning to high school graduation preparation, within a single, close-knit academic system.

According to federal educational data for the 2024–2025 school year, the district maintains an intimate learning environment with a total enrollment of 119 students, comprising 63 male and 56 female learners across diverse backgrounds, including White, Hispanic, American Indian, and multiracial student populations. To support student growth, Edgemont employs a robust workforce of approximately 31 full-time equivalent teachers, complemented by over four instructional aides and nearly 26 support staff members, bringing the total district staff context to around 61 full-time equivalent positions. This extraordinarily low student-to-educator ratio enables highly personalized instruction, strong individual mentorship, and a supportive academic culture tailored to the unique needs of a rural student body.
