Summary

Winship Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grand Forks, North Dakota, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 217 students. The school is part of the Grand Forks 1 school district, which is ranked 69 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Winship Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Grand Forks 1 district and the state of North Dakota in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Winship's overall math proficiency was 44% compared to 43% for the district and 41% for the state. Similarly, its overall reading proficiency was 35.5% compared to 42% for the district and 40% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18-23% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Winship Elementary's statewide ranking has been poor, consistently placing in the bottom half of North Dakota elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

However, Winship Elementary is located in close proximity to several other elementary schools in the Grand Forks 1 district, some of which significantly outperform it academically. For example, J. Nelson Kelly Elementary and Discovery Elementary are both ranked in the top 5-12 schools in the state, with much higher proficiency rates in math, reading, and science. Additionally, Winship Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contributes to the school's academic struggles and high chronic absenteeism rates. Despite these challenges, the school's performance for its Asian and English Language Learner (ELL) students is quite strong, suggesting that with the right interventions and support, the school could potentially improve outcomes for its other student subgroups as well.

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.
