Summary:

The 58261 zip code in North Dakota is home to a single elementary school, Minto Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 223 students.

Minto Elementary School is ranked 143 out of 216 North Dakota elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in Math and Reading below the state averages, but stronger performance in 6th grade Math and 3rd grade Reading. The school's Science proficiency rates are also better than the state average. However, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, which may be contributing to its lower overall academic outcomes.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.9 to 1 and higher per-student spending of $12,717, these factors have not translated into stronger academic results. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, with 43.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has some areas of strength, there is clearly room for improvement in order to better serve the educational needs of its students.

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.
