Summary:
The 58466 zip code area has only one elementary school, Litchville-Marion Elementary School, which serves students in this rural North Dakota community. While the school has a relatively small enrollment of 83 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 6.9 to 1, its academic performance is generally below the state average, ranking 156 out of 216 North Dakota elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Litchville-Marion Elementary School's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science are all lower than the North Dakota state averages, and the school's statewide ranking has declined from 92 out of 215 schools in 2022-2023 to 156 out of 216 schools in 2024-2025. With a free/reduced lunch rate of 30.12%, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. However, the school's spending per student of $18,330 is relatively high, suggesting that resources may not be the primary issue impacting academic performance.
Overall, the data indicates that Litchville-Marion Elementary School is a small, low-performing school that has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years. While the school's small size and high spending per student may offer some advantages, its academic performance, particularly in Math and Reading, is a concern for parents and the community. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and student population may be necessary to identify the root causes of its performance issues and develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
