Summary

Jeannette Myhre Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bismarck, North Dakota, serving 260 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. While the school is part of the Bismarck 1 School District, which is ranked 67 out of 134 districts in the state, Jeannette Myhre consistently underperforms both the district and state averages in academic measures like math, reading, and science proficiency.

The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.23% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, the school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students and Native American students having the highest performance. However, the school's academic performance is significantly lower than that of nearby schools like Victor Solheim Elementary School and Roosevelt Elementary School, which are also part of the Bismarck 1 district.

Despite the school's lower academic performance, Jeannette Myhre Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending, with an average of $17,464 per student in the 2021-2022 school year, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.5 to 10.6 students per teacher over the past few years. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning and address the unique challenges faced by its student population.

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.
