Summary

Glen Ullin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the small town of Glen Ullin, North Dakota, with a total enrollment of 94 students. The school is part of the Glen Ullin 48 school district, which is ranked 97 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Glen Ullin Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Dakota elementary schools, with its ranking ranging from 89 to 179 out of 181 to 217 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in Math (39%) and Reading (34%) lower than the state averages of 41% and 40%, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year. In comparison, the nearby Hebron Elementary School, ranked 7th out of 216 North Dakota elementary schools, has significantly higher proficiency rates in Math (69%), Reading (64%), and Science (74.5%).

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,148 to $17,885 over the past four school years, and a low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance of Glen Ullin Elementary School remains a concern. The school serves a population with a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 25.2% to 42.55% over the past three school years, compared to the nearby Prairie View Elementary School, which had a free/reduced lunch rate of 23.26% in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could be contributing to its academic performance, and further investigation into the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation is warranted.

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.
