Summary:

The zip code 58356 is home to a single elementary school, New Rockford-Sheyenne Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through sixth grade. The school's performance has seen a concerning decline in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 49th out of 215 North Dakota elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 141st out of 216 in 2024-2025. This decline is reflected in the school's overall performance rating, which has decreased from 4 out of 5 stars to 2 out of 5 stars during the same period.

Academically, New Rockford-Sheyenne Elementary School struggles to meet the state's proficiency standards. In both math and reading, the school's proficiency rates are consistently below the state averages across multiple grade levels. For example, math proficiency ranges from 19.5% to 59%, compared to the state average of 41% to 48%, while reading proficiency ranges from 29.5% to 54.5%, compared to the state average of 38% to 43%. The school's science proficiency is also slightly below the state average.

Despite these academic challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7, which is slightly better than the state average. However, the school serves a higher proportion of students from low-income families, with 32.37% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending of $11,641 for the 2021-2022 school year may be an area for further investigation to understand how these resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning and address the unique needs of the school's population.

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.
