Summary:

The 58554 zip code area is home to 9 elementary schools, all but one of which are part of the Mandan 1 school district. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational experiences, from high-performing schools to those facing demographic and resource challenges.

The standout schools in this area are Red Trail Elementary School, which ranks 7th out of 53 North Dakota elementary schools and has the highest test scores in both math and reading, and Roosevelt Elementary School, which has a strong history and a relatively low student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Custer Elementary School has the highest per-student spending, indicating a focus on resources and support for its 129 students, despite a lower overall ranking.

The data also reveals significant disparities within the district, with a wide range in free/reduced lunch rates, from 16.31% at Ft Lincoln Elementary to 79.17% at Mary Stark Elementary, suggesting varying levels of economic disadvantage among the student populations. This, along with the range in per-student spending, indicates that the district may need to re-evaluate how resources are allocated to ensure more equitable funding across all schools.

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.
