Summary:

Maddock, North Dakota, has two schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Maddock Elementary School (PK–8, 96 students) and Maddock High School (grades 9–12, 38 students), for 134 students altogether. The clearest shared strength is reading: in 2025–2026, elementary reading was 70–78% proficient and high-school reading was 60–78%, both above the 57% statewide figure.

The elementary school stands out in all-grades math and in SchoolDigger’s latest rankings, while high-school math is the weakest reported all-grades result. Elementary math was 50–58%, compared with 20–49% at the high school; the ranges are separated by at least 1 point. Against the state’s 54%, elementary math was 4 points below to 4 points above, while high-school math was at least 5 points below. In science, elementary results were 20–39% and high-school results were under 40%, against 39% statewide. SchoolDigger ranks the elementary school 46th of 216 schools (79th percentile, four stars), versus the high school at 83rd of 129 (36th percentile, two stars). Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades results are not a same-grade comparison.

Elementary results changed considerably between the two years reported: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math rose from 29% to 50–58% and reading from 54% to 70–78%, while science fell from 74.5% to 20–39%. SchoolDigger’s elementary ranking also rose from the 59th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 79th percentile in 2025–2026; the high school’s listed percentiles vary, from 28th in 2021–2022 to 86th in 2022–2023 and 36th in 2025–2026. For context, both schools had student-teacher ratios near 10 in 2024–2025 (9.9 at elementary and 10.3 at high school), and about 32% of students at each were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. These context measures describe the schools but do not explain their different results.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
