Summary:

The 58577 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Washburn Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and has 236 students. The school is part of the Washburn 4 school district, which is ranked 51 out of 134 districts in North Dakota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washburn Elementary School has demonstrated strong academic performance, outperforming the district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a 49% proficiency rate in math, compared to 44% for the district and 41% for the state. In reading, the school's proficiency rate was 45.5%, exceeding the district's 43% and the state's 40%. However, the school's science proficiency rates were more mixed, with 4th grade trailing the district and state, but 8th grade exceeding both.

Despite its academic strengths, Washburn Elementary School has experienced some fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 56th out of 215 schools in 2022-2023 (4-star rating) to 152nd out of 217 schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating). The school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 16.1% suggests it may serve a more affluent student population, which could contribute to its academic performance. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $12,988 is higher than the state average, and its small student-teacher ratio of 11.8 may also be a factor in its success.

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.
