Summary:
ZIP code 56585 contains one high school — Ulen-Hitterdal Secondary — a small school serving grades 7–12 with 158 students, part of the Ulen-Hitterdal Public School District. Because it is the only high school in the area, there is no local comparison to draw; families can instead weigh its results against state averages and its own recent history. It reports a 12.7 student-teacher ratio and 32.91% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025.
Its strongest signals are improvement and completion. The school moved from 162 of 480 (66th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024 to 113 of 473 (76th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026 — a 49-position gain — and that 4-star, 76th-percentile standing sits above the district's 56th percentile, 3-star listing. In 2024–2025 the graduation rate was 90.4% versus 84.9% statewide, and the dropout rate was 0.0% versus 4.2% statewide. Several upper-grade results also beat the state: 10th-grade reading (47.6% vs. 42.5%), 11th-grade math (37.9% vs. 35.3%), and End-of-Course science (42.9% vs. 35%).
Yet all-grade proficiency trails the state in every subject in 2025–2026: reading 32.4% vs. 48.6%, math 38% vs. 44.9%, science 20.4% vs. 25.5%. The sharpest pressure points are middle-grade reading (7th grade 22.7% vs. 43.5%; 8th grade 28.6% vs. 50%) and 8th-grade science at just 3.6% vs. 16.7%. All-grade reading also fell from 50% to 32.4% in a single year while the state barely moved, though math improved from 32.88% to 38%. With roughly 26 students per grade, a handful of students can swing these percentages substantially.
