Summary:
Zip code 58341 has two schools serving listed grades PK–12: Bm Hanson Elementary School (PK–6) and Harvey High School (7–12), both in Harvey 38, which SchoolDigger rates four stars and ranks 21st of 129 districts. The clearest difference in the latest all-grade results is reading: Harvey’s 60–78% range is entirely above Bm Hanson’s 50–58% range, by at least 2 percentage points.
Harvey High stands out in all-grade reading, with results 3–21 points above North Dakota’s 57%; Bm Hanson’s range runs from 7 points below to 1 point above the state. Neither school has a clear lead in all-grade math or science because their result ranges overlap. Grade-specific results show strengths at both schools: Bm Hanson’s reported grades 3–5 math and reading ranges exceed their state results, while Harvey’s grade 10 math is 4–22 points above the state and reading is 8–26 points above. Bm Hanson’s reported grade 7 reading is a marked weakness at 10–29%, compared with 55% statewide; its listed grades end at grade 6, so the supplied grade 7 and 8 results warrant caution. Other measures point to different strengths: Bm Hanson’s chronic absenteeism is 8%, versus 19% statewide, while Harvey’s graduation rate is 91%, versus 87% statewide.
Reported all-grade results rose at both schools from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Harvey’s math increased from 20% to 50–68%, while Bm Hanson’s rose from 44% to 55–63%; state math went from 41% to 54%. Reading and science also rose at both schools, though the latest ranges do not establish a clear area-wide advantage in those subjects. SchoolDigger ranks Bm Hanson 34th of 216 schools (84th percentile) and Harvey 31st of 129 (76th percentile) for 2025–2026. Bm Hanson has a lower student-teacher ratio, 10.2 compared with 12.7, and higher spending per student, $13,558 versus $12,097. Their 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible figures are similar: 33% at Bm Hanson and 32% at Harvey. These are useful points of comparison, but neither school leads on every measure.
