Summary:
The Hatton Eielson 7 school district is home to one elementary school, Hatton Eielson Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade in the small, rural community of Hatton, North Dakota. With a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1 and a high per-student spending of $16,604, the school provides a resource-rich environment where students receive significant individual attention.
Hatton Eielson Elementary School has demonstrated a remarkable academic turnaround, climbing from a state ranking of 140th in 2022-2023 to 29th in 2024-2025—a leap of 111 positions. The school now holds a 4-star rating and ranks in the 87th percentile statewide. Current test scores show the school significantly outperforms the state average in Math (64% vs. 41%) and Reading (49% vs. 40%). A standout achievement is the 5th grade class, where 100% of students were proficient in Math, more than double the state average of 44%. However, Science proficiency lags slightly behind the state average (34.5% vs. 38%), representing a clear area for potential focus.
An interesting pattern emerges in grade-level performance: while 5th graders achieved perfect Math scores and strong Reading results (64.5%), 6th graders show a sharp drop to 44.5% proficiency in both subjects. This decline warrants further investigation into curriculum transitions or cohort differences. Additionally, the district's overall Reading proficiency (54%) actually exceeds the school's (49%), suggesting that the middle and high school grades within the district perform even better in Reading. Overall, Hatton Eielson Elementary School offers a high-quality, individualized learning environment with strong academic growth, particularly in Math and Reading.
