Sioux Falls is a strong choice for physician families, with a large public school system, several highly regarded suburban districts, established private schools, and multiple colleges and universities. Many families choose their neighborhood based on school district, and short commutes make most of the metro accessible.
The Sioux Falls School District is the largest in the state and serves more than 24,000 students across numerous elementary, middle, and high schools. Many physician families also choose homes within the surrounding suburban districts.
These districts are known for academics, competitive athletics, music and arts programs, modern facilities, and high graduation rates.
The city's academic presence continues to expand with the growth of the USD Sanford School of Medicine in Sioux Falls, which strengthens opportunities for physician teaching, research, and collaboration.
