Summary:

The 58540 zip code is home to a single public high school, Garrison High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 166 students. The school is part of the Garrison 51 school district, which is ranked 82 out of 134 districts in North Dakota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Garrison High School's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is mixed compared to state averages. While the school excels in 10th grade science proficiency, it lags behind in math and reading proficiency across all grades. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% is also slightly below the state average. However, the school is well-resourced, with a low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, which may not be fully translating into stronger academic outcomes.

The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 54th out of 125 schools in 2022-2023 to 90th out of 122 schools in 2023-2024, and then improving to 82nd out of 125 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school's performance may be inconsistent, and it could benefit from a more consistent improvement strategy to address its areas of weakness and build on its strengths.

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.

But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only.
