Summary:

The 58324 zip code is home to a single high school, North Star High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. With only 76 students and a student-teacher ratio of 8.8, North Star High School is a relatively small school, but its academic performance has been a concern in recent years.

North Star High School's 4-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year is 84.2%, which is below the state average. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are also lower than the district and state averages, with only 10% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Math, 29.5% in Reading, and 19.5% in Science. The school's overall spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $12,637, which is higher than the state average, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

The data suggests that North Star High School is facing significant challenges. The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 12th out of 125 schools in 2022-2023 to 118th out of 125 schools in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger rating has fluctuated from 5 stars to 0 stars over the past few years, indicating inconsistent quality. Additionally, the high percentage of students (30.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant economic challenges, which could impact academic performance.

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.
