There are five schools on the Reservation in Eagle Butte, Dupree, Takini, LaPlant, and Timber Lake. School and afterschool attendance is inconsistent. For a variety of reasons, many children don’t attend the school closest to them, for example, some children in Bridger attend the Dupree School which is over an hour away from home. Because of the travel time it takes to get to school, children may have difficulty participating in afterschool activities or they might miss school altogether because the bus leaves town at 6:00 a.m.—a hard time for children and family to be up and out in the morning.
