North Border-Walhalla Elementary School has exceptional academic performance, with test scores significantly higher than the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.

While North Border 100 school district, which includes North Border-Walhalla Elementary, is ranked 14th out of 134 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating, the school may need to address potential equity concerns as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 30.23% in 2021-2022 to 37.21% in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may need to find ways to support students from lower-income families to ensure continued academic success.

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.
