Summary

Wyndmere Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 147 students in grades K-6 in Wyndmere, North Dakota, which is part of the Wyndmere 42 school district. The school has consistently performed well on state assessments, with a significant number of students scoring proficient or better in math, reading, and science, outperforming the state averages in all subject areas.

Wyndmere Elementary School has shown impressive student growth over the years, with its statewide ranking improving from #2 in 2015-2016 to #102 in 2024-2025. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 9% to 20%, which is an area that may require further attention.

Compared to nearby schools, Hankinson Elementary School and Sundale Colony Elementary School, Wyndmere Elementary School outperforms them on most academic measures. However, Milnor Elementary School has shown stronger performance in some areas, such as math and reading. Additionally, the school has seen some gender-based differences in student performance, with male students ranking higher than female students in recent years.

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.

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.
