Summary:

The 58579 zip code area is home to one standout elementary school, Wilton Elementary School, which serves students from the Wilton 1 school district. Wilton Elementary is ranked in the top half of North Dakota elementary schools and boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance.

Wilton Elementary's academic achievements are particularly noteworthy, with math proficiency rates significantly exceeding the state average across all grade levels. The school's 6th and 7th graders stand out, with 69% and 89% proficiency in math, respectively. Reading proficiency is also above the state average, though not as dramatically as math. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.2 is lower than the state average, and its spending per student of $13,857 is higher, suggesting the district is allocating significant resources to support student learning.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20% is on the higher side, the relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 16.89% indicates the student population is not heavily economically disadvantaged. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic success, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact student achievement. Overall, Wilton Elementary School appears to be a high-performing institution that is effectively serving its students and 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.
