Summary

Peter Boe Junior Elementary School is a public elementary school in Mayville, North Dakota, serving 243 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the May-Port CG 14 school district, which is ranked 71 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Peter Boe Junior Elementary School has shown a mixed performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math (49%) and Reading (39%) were slightly higher than the state averages but lower than the district averages. However, the school's 5th-grade Math and Reading proficiency rates were significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school has also performed well for White students and low-socioeconomic status students, ranking highly in these categories. Concerning is the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate, which increased from 10% in 2022-2023 to 20% in 2024-2025, higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools like Northwood Elementary, Central Valley Elementary, Hillsboro Elementary, and Hatton Eielson Elementary, Peter Boe Junior Elementary School generally performs on par or slightly below in terms of academic proficiency rates. However, the school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as male students and low-socioeconomic status students, stands out as a strength. The school's fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 36th out of 207 schools in 2020-2021 to 125th out of 216 schools in 2024-2025, suggests it may face challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence.

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.
