Best Public Schools in Zip Code 58538

Summary:

The 58538 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 alternative school. These schools face significant educational challenges, with all 3 serving high-poverty communities as evidenced by their extremely high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 99.47% to 100%.

The standout school in this data set is the Standing Rock Community School, an alternative school with a very high student-teacher ratio of 28.2. While the spending per student at this school and the Fort Yates Middle School and Fort Yates PK School is quite high at $56,659, the test scores across all 3 schools are significantly below the state averages in both math and reading proficiency.

The stark performance gaps and resource allocation challenges suggest that students in this area are facing significant educational hurdles that need to be addressed. Further investigation into enrollment trends, root causes of economic disadvantage, and more effective deployment of funding could provide valuable insights to support improved outcomes for the schools serving the 58538 zip code community.

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.

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.
