Elementary Schools in Rugby 5


Summary:

The Rugby 5 school district in North Dakota has only one elementary school, Rugby Ely Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 311 students. The district is ranked 15 out of 23 in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rugby Ely Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in the following two years. The school's test scores in Math and Reading are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, but there is room for improvement, especially in Reading. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0% is relatively high, which could indicate potential issues with student engagement or attendance. With a spending per student of $15,011 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.8, the school appears to have a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention, though the efficiency and effectiveness of this approach is unclear.

Overall, Rugby 5 District has only one elementary school, Rugby Ely Elementary, which has shown inconsistent performance in recent years. While the school's test scores are generally competitive, the high chronic absenteeism rate and relatively high spending per student raise questions about the school's overall effectiveness and areas for improvement.

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.
