Hot Springs School District 23-2

Located at 1747 Lincoln Ave in Hot Springs, South Dakota, the Hot Springs School District 23-2 is a fully operational, traditional public school system serving a rural remote community. Spanning three active campuses, the district delivers a comprehensive educational continuum from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade for a student body of 710 enrolled learners. The student population is nearly evenly balanced between 356 female and 354 male students, bringing together a diverse community of learners that includes White, Multiracial, American Indian, Hispanic, and Asian students. As an independent local school district, Hot Springs offers a close-knit educational setting designed to guide neighborhood children through every stage of their academic journey.

To support high-quality instruction and holistic student development, the district maintains an exceptionally strong staffing structure of over 231 full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel. The instructional team is anchored by more than 115 FTE teachers and 19 FTE instructional aides, backed by over 96 support staff members. This dedicated team results in a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 6 to 1, allowing for personalized classroom instruction and strong mentorship.
