Summary

New England Elementary School is a public elementary school in New England, North Dakota, serving 160 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the New England 9 School District, which is ranked 116 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, New England Elementary School's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science are consistently below the state averages across all grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Math proficiency rate was 44%, compared to the state average of 41%, and its Reading proficiency rate was 25.5%, compared to the state average of 40%. The school's performance is also generally lower than the New England 9 district average, indicating that it is one of the lower-performing schools within the district. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is a bright spot, ranking as high as 6 out of 88 North Dakota elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Another area of concern is the school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 20% to 36% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. While the school's per-student spending has increased over the years, from $10,000 in 2018-2019 to $16,091 in 2021-2022, the inconsistent academic performance suggests that there may be opportunities to better allocate these resources to improve student outcomes. Overall, New England Elementary School faces several challenges, but the school's investment in resources and the strong performance of its low socioeconomic status students suggest that there may be opportunities to improve the school's overall outcomes.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

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.
