Summary

Edwin Loe Elementary School is a public elementary school in New Town, North Dakota, serving 532 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the New Town 1 school district, and it faces significant challenges compared to other schools in the region.

Over the past several years, Edwin Loe Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Dakota elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in math and reading have been well below the state average, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 20% in the 2024-2025 school year. These challenges are not unique to Edwin Loe, as the nearby Mandaree Elementary School and Parshall Elementary School also exhibit similar patterns of low performance and high chronic absenteeism.

The data suggests that the challenges faced by Edwin Loe Elementary School are likely rooted in broader socioeconomic and educational factors in the region. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and its per-student spending is relatively high compared to the state average. While these resources have not translated to better academic outcomes, the school's strong performance for its Native American student population suggests that there may be opportunities to explore effective strategies that could benefit the broader student population.

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.
