Summary:

The 58270 zip code area is home to a single public high school, Park River Area High School, which serves grades 7-12.

Park River Area High School has an enrollment of 191 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4. The school's spending per student is $10,197, which is higher than the national average. However, the school's 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests it is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state.

Despite the school's lower rankings, it maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.2%. Additionally, 27.23% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a moderate level of economic need among the student population. Overall, while Park River Area 8 district faces some challenges, the high school's graduation rate and resource allocation suggest it is working to support its students' academic success.

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.
