Summary:

The 58012 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Central Cass Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. While the school maintains a stable enrollment of 396 students, its student population is predominantly White, with very low percentages of racial minority groups. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 19th out of 42 schools to 55th out of 202 schools.

Central Cass Elementary School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 8.0%, which is not exceptionally high but still represents a significant portion of the student population missing a substantial amount of instructional time. The school's per-student spending of $10,594 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.4 to 1 are within typical ranges for elementary schools, suggesting the school is allocating resources reasonably. However, the relatively low percentage of students (14.14%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates the school may serve a relatively affluent community.

Overall, while Central Cass 17 district appears to be performing reasonably well, the lack of diversity and the fluctuating performance metrics suggest areas for potential improvement and further investigation. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and exploring ways to better serve and attract a more diverse student body could be areas of focus for the school and district.

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.
