Summary:
The 58433 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Edgeley Elementary School and Willow Bank Colony School, both serving students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While Edgeley Elementary is the stronger-performing school, the two institutions serve vastly different student populations and face unique challenges.
Edgeley Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state averages in math, reading, and science, and currently ranks 105th out of 215 North Dakota elementary schools. In contrast, Willow Bank Colony School struggles academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the district and state. This disparity is likely due to the high percentage (89.66%) of students at Willow Bank Colony who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.
While both schools have a student-teacher ratio of 14.5, slightly higher than the state average, Edgeley Elementary spends $13,038 per student, compared to $10,873 per student at Willow Bank Colony. The performance gap between the two schools is significant, and the fluctuations in Edgeley Elementary's state-wide ranking suggest the need for more consistent improvement efforts.
