The 58425 zip code area is home to two small schools - Griggs County Central Elementary School and Griggs County Central High School, both part of the Griggs County Central 18 district. While the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, the high school has had fluctuating performance, with both schools serving a high percentage of students from low-income families.
The elementary school has a relatively small enrollment of 193 students in grades PK-8 and has consistently low statewide rankings, going from 207th out of 215 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 91st out of 216 in 2024-2025. Its academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the state average in math and reading, while others are significantly below. The high school, with an even smaller enrollment of 80 students in grades 9-12, has also seen fluctuating statewide rankings, from 44th out of 122 high schools in 2023-2024 to 92nd out of 125 in 2024-2025. Its academic performance is low, with only 10% proficient or better in math and 39.5% in reading for 10th grade in 2024-2025.
Both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, at over 40%, indicating that they serve a predominantly low-income student population. The schools also have consistent spending per student of $14,999, which is an interesting data point to consider in the context of their varying academic performance and other factors. The small size of the schools, while potentially offering more personalized attention, may also present challenges in terms of limited course offerings and extracurricular activities. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes and ensure that all students in the 58425 zip code have access to a high-quality education.
