Summary:

The 58261 zip code is home to a single high school, Minto High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Minto 20 school district. While the school has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, from a 4-star rating to a 1-star rating, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student.

Minto High School's academic performance is a concern, with only 10% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in math, 49.5% proficient or better in reading, and 19.5% proficient or better in science, all well below the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year is 84.2%, which is also below the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students (43.82%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a economically disadvantaged population.

Despite the challenges faced by Minto High School, the data suggests that the school is investing resources in its students, with a higher-than-average spending per student. However, the outcomes do not yet reflect the level of investment, and further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's performance and identify areas for improvement.

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.
