Summary:

The 58251 zip code area is home to a single standout elementary school, Larimore Elementary School, which serves students from the Larimore 44 school district. This institution has consistently performed at a high level, ranking in the top 15% of North Dakota elementary schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two years.

Larimore Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in math and reading proficiency. The school exceeds the state average in these core subjects across multiple grade levels, with especially impressive results in 3rd and 7th grade math, as well as 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade reading. Additionally, the school's science proficiency rates top the state average in both 4th and 8th grade, indicating a well-rounded curriculum.

Despite serving a population with moderate economic challenges, as evidenced by the 27.23% free/reduced lunch rate, Larimore Elementary School has been able to maintain its high level of performance. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.8 is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending of $12,842 is higher, suggesting a focus on providing a supportive learning environment. While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20% is on the higher side, it remains below the state's threshold for "high" chronic absenteeism, and addressing this area could help the school continue its trajectory of excellence.

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.
