The school is part of the Pingree-Buchanan 10 school district, which is ranked 88 out of 134 districts in North Dakota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pingree-Buchanan Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with test scores generally below the state averages in math, reading, and science. The school's overall math proficiency rate is 34% compared to the state average of 41%, and its overall reading proficiency rate is 39% compared to the state average of 40%. Additionally, the school's academic performance has fluctuated significantly over the past few years, suggesting inconsistency in its performance. The school's academic performance is also uneven across different grade levels and subject areas, with some grades and subjects performing much better than others.

Despite the relatively high spending per student of $12,391, Pingree-Buchanan Elementary School has a very high student-teacher ratio of 64.3 to 1, which may be a contributing factor to the uneven academic performance. This suggests a need to re-evaluate staffing and resource allocation to better support student learning. Overall, while Pingree-Buchanan Elementary School is the only school in the 58420 zip code, the data reveals some areas of concern that may require further investigation and improvement efforts.

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.
