Stanley 2

Summary:

The Stanley 2 school district in North Dakota serves students from elementary through high school. Based on the available data, neither Stanley Elementary School nor Stanley High School stand out as high-performing institutions, with both schools consistently ranking in the bottom half of their respective state rankings.

The district as a whole is ranked 20 out of 23 in North Dakota and has a 1-star rating. Both the elementary and high school have relatively low performance metrics, with proficiency rates in math and reading below the state average. Additionally, the schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to the low academic performance.

While the district appears to be allocating significant resources to its schools, with relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as chronic absenteeism and demographic factors, may be crucial for improving the quality of education in the Stanley 2 school district.

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.
