Little Eagle School

Located at 1 School Street in Little Eagle, South Dakota, Little Eagle School operates as an open, independent public school district dedicated to serving its surrounding community. Set within a distinctly rural remote environment, this single-school district delivers a focused educational sequence spanning kindergarten through eighth grade. Functioning outside of a supervisory union, the district offers a cohesive academic foundation designed to support children through their elementary and middle school years before they move on to high school.

According to National Center for Education Statistics dataset context for the 2024–2025 school year, Little Eagle School maintains a close-knit student body of 62 children—comprising 32 female and 30 male students—with an enrollment composed entirely of American Indian learners. The district supports this student body with a comprehensive workforce of 20 full-time equivalent staff members, including 8 dedicated classroom teachers, 1 instructional aide, and 11 support personnel. This strong staffing context yields an exceptionally low student-to-teacher ratio, allowing for individualized instruction, robust student support services, and a supportive educational environment tailored to community needs.
