Oakes 41

Summary:

The Oakes 41 school district in North Dakota is home to two schools: Oakes Elementary School and Oakes High School. The data reveals that Oakes Elementary School is a standout performer in the district, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state and outperforming both the district and state averages in academic proficiency.

In contrast, Oakes High School has not demonstrated the same level of academic excellence, with a lower ranking and performance data not provided. This suggests potential areas for improvement at the high school level. The district's investment in resources, as evidenced by the similar per-student spending at both the elementary and high school levels, does not appear to be translating into equally strong outcomes at the high school.

The demographic data indicates that both schools serve a relatively low-income population, which may present unique challenges and require targeted interventions to support student success. The difference in student-teacher ratios between the elementary and high school could also be a contributing factor to the performance gap, with the lower ratio at the elementary level potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support.

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.
