Surrey 41

Summary:

The Surrey 41 school district in North Dakota is home to two schools: Surrey Elementary School and Surrey High School. While the elementary school has seen a remarkable turnaround in its statewide ranking, moving from 172nd out of 202 to 32nd out of 53 in just a few years, the high school has maintained a relatively stable ranking between 27th and 88th out of all North Dakota high schools.

Surrey Elementary has 229 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.3, while Surrey High has 189 students and an 11.1 ratio. Both schools have a per-student spending of $11,620 and a free/reduced lunch rate around 14%. Academically, Surrey Elementary's proficiency rates in Math (42%) and Reading (39%) are slightly below the state averages, and the district as a whole has a 38% Math proficiency rate and 39% Reading proficiency rate. At the high school level, Surrey has an 84.2% four-year graduation rate.

The dramatic improvement at Surrey Elementary suggests the district has implemented effective strategies to boost student achievement, but there is still room for improvement in academic outcomes, particularly in mathematics. Maintaining and building upon the elementary school's success across all grade levels will be important for the district, and focusing on enhancing test scores and graduation rates could be valuable areas of focus going forward.

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.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
