Summary

Valley-Edinburg Elementary School-Crystal is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in Crystal, North Dakota, part of the Valley-Edinburg 118 school district. The school has shown strong academic performance, ranking in the top 40 elementary schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valley-Edinburg Elementary School-Crystal outperforms the nearby Century Elementary School (Grafton 18 district) and performs similarly to Cavalier Elementary School (Cavalier 6 district) in most subject areas. The school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 34-45% over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Century Elementary School (50% in 2023-2024). Additionally, Valley-Edinburg Elementary School-Crystal spends significantly more per student ($20,227 in 2021-2022) compared to the nearby schools, which spend around $10,000-$13,000 per student, and has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.1 to 9.0 over the past few years.

The school's consistent academic performance, with its ranking and star rating remaining relatively stable, suggests an effective educational approach that is benefiting its students. However, the data also shows a significant gap between male and female students, with female students outperforming males in both Math and Reading, which is an area the school may want to investigate further.

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.

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.
