Best Public Schools in Zip Code 58318

Summary:

The 58318 zip code area is home to two schools - Bottineau Elementary School and Bottineau Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Bottineau 1 school district. While Bottineau Elementary has consistently ranked among the top 10 elementary schools in North Dakota, Bottineau Junior-Senior High has struggled with lower rankings and performance.

Bottineau Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and students scoring above the state averages in both math and reading proficiency. The school has an enrollment of 350 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.8. In contrast, Bottineau Junior-Senior High School has only a 1-star rating and has faced challenges, including a graduation rate of 84.2% and a dropout rate of 4.0%. The high school has an enrollment of 315 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.5.

One area of concern for both schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the spending per student is significantly higher at the high school level ($19,040) compared to the elementary school ($7,904), but it's unclear whether this higher spending is translating into better outcomes for students. Overall, the data suggests that Bottineau Elementary School is a standout performer in the area, while Bottineau Junior-Senior High School faces some challenges that the district may need to address.

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.
