Elementary Schools in Tioga 15

Summary:

The Tioga 15 school district in North Dakota is home to a single elementary school, Central Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The data reveals a school that has struggled to maintain its performance in recent years, with declining statewide rankings and academic proficiency rates that lag behind both the district and state averages.

Central Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from 37th out of 53 North Dakota elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 47th out of 48 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 2 stars to 0 stars over the same period. While the school's proficiency rates in A-Plus/Math and A-Plus/Reading were higher than the Tioga 15 district in 2024-2025, they were still lower than the state average. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in NDSA/Mathematics and NDSA/Reading were even lower than both the district and state averages.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,850 in 2021-2022, which is above the state average, the academic performance and overall school ranking indicate that the investment is not translating into strong educational outcomes for students. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0% in 2024-2025 is a significant concern and may be contributing to the school's overall performance challenges.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

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.
