The superintendent of the Pierre School District says preliminary information shows Pierre students had “really good” scores on statewide assessment tests this past year.
Dr. Kelly Glodt shared the information with the Pierre School Board during this week’s meeting (May 11, 2026).
Glodt said Pierre’s scores were so good, the District was asked to participate in a study being done by Harvard, which he admits he didn’t think was a legit request at first.
Glodt said the Harvard study is looking into National Assessment of Educational Progress– or NAEP– scores at schools around the country.
Glodt said the study results are supposed to be released Wednesday/tomorrow (May 13, 2026).
