Best Public Schools in Zip Code 58329

Summary:

The 58329 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Dunseith Elementary School and Dunseith Day School) and 1 high school (Dunseith High School). Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three schools are performing well below state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.

Dunseith High School is ranked 121 out of 125 high schools in the state and has a 0-star rating, while Dunseith Elementary School is ranked 214 out of 216 elementary schools and also has a 0-star rating. The schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with 98-100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Across the board, the schools struggle with low proficiency rates in math, reading, and science, as well as high dropout rates and chronic absenteeism. For example, only 19% of Dunseith High School students are proficient in math, compared to a 41% state average. Addressing the systemic issues in this area will require a collaborative effort between the schools, Dunseith 1 district, and the broader community to develop effective strategies for improving educational outcomes for these students.

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.
