Summary:

The Velva 1 school district in North Dakota is home to two high-performing schools: Velva Elementary School and Velva High School. Both schools have consistently ranked in the top half of their respective state rankings, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, indicating strong academic achievement and student success.

Velva Elementary School and Velva High School serve a predominantly white student population, with low representation of minority groups. The schools maintain relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and high graduation rates, suggesting a high level of student engagement and support. Additionally, the district allocates significant resources to its schools, with high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the schools' strong performance.

While the Velva 1 schools demonstrate consistent high performance, the district may benefit from further exploring diversity and inclusion efforts to ensure equitable outcomes for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background. The moderate free and reduced-price lunch rates indicate a mix of economic needs within the student population, which may require tailored support and interventions to address any disparities in academic achievement or access to resources.

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.
