Summary:
The city of Casselton, North Dakota is home to three schools that are part of the Central Cass 17 school district, including one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The data reveals that Central Cass Middle School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 2-5 middle schools in the state and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Across the three schools, some key metrics stand out. All three schools have a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20%, which is quite high compared to the state average. The free/reduced lunch rates range from 12.63% at the elementary school to 13.07% at the high school, indicating a relatively low-income student population. However, the schools maintain a consistent spending per student of $10,594, which is in line with the state average, and small student-teacher ratios ranging from 15.1 to 17.6.
The data highlights the strong academic performance of Central Cass Middle School, with 56% of students proficient or better in math and 51% in reading, significantly outperforming the state averages. This suggests the school may have effective teaching practices, curriculum, or other factors contributing to its success. However, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools indicate an area for improvement that the district may need to address.
