Summary

Brooks Harbor Elementary School is a public elementary school in West Fargo, North Dakota, serving 543 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the West Fargo 6 School District, which is ranked 16th out of 23 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brooks Harbor Elementary School has consistently outperformed the West Fargo 6 district and the state of North Dakota in academic assessments, with 54% of students proficient or better in mathematics and 44% proficient or better in reading in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8% in 2022-2023 to 20% in 2024-2025, which is higher than nearby schools like Westside Elementary and Eastwood Elementary. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Brooks Harbor has also increased, from 12.78% in 2021-2022 to 22.47% in 2023-2024, which is lower than some nearby schools.

Despite its strong academic performance, Brooks Harbor Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined from 29th out of 47 North Dakota elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 19th out of 53 in 2024-2025. This suggests that other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate. Additionally, some nearby schools, such as South Elementary, have higher proficiency rates in mathematics and reading, as well as lower chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch rates. These factors may contribute to the differences in academic performance between Brooks Harbor and its neighboring schools.

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.
