Best Public Schools in Zip Code 58204

Summary:

The 58204 zip code area in North Dakota is home to two standout schools, Nathan Twining Elementary School and Nathan Twining Middle School, both part of the Grand Forks 1 school district. These schools have consistently ranked among the top performers in the state, with Nathan Twining Elementary reaching as high as 9th out of 215 North Dakota elementary schools and Nathan Twining Middle ranking 3rd out of 61 North Dakota middle schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Academically, both schools outperform the Grand Forks 1 district and the state of North Dakota in proficiency rates for Math, Reading, and Science across all grade levels. This exceptional academic performance is likely supported by the schools' high per-student spending of $13,693, which is significantly above the state average, as well as their low student-teacher ratios of 8.8 and 6.6, respectively.

While the schools serve a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, this data alone does not imply any correlation between student demographics and academic achievement. The consistent excellence demonstrated by Nathan Twining Elementary and Middle Schools suggests that they are providing a quality education and effectively supporting student learning, regardless of their student population's socioeconomic background.

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.
