About SOCSD

Sibley-Ocheyedan is a 1A school district with approximately 650 learners in grades PK-12. We are located approximately one hour from Sioux Falls and Sioux City in the Northwest corner of the state. The district is also a short 45-minute drive to the Iowa Great Lakes.

We are proud to offer a small district atmosphere with a student to teacher ratio of approximately 12:1 but with many outstanding opportunities for students to participate in both academic and co-curricular activities. Many teachers hold master’s degrees or higher and we have a great mix of teachers with 15 plus years experience and teachers in their first few years of teaching. This combination of veteran and newer teachers compliment one another to make our learning environment one that is engaging and motivating for students.
