Summary:

The 58703 zip code area of North Dakota is home to two middle schools: Erik Ramstad Middle School and Minot Public Schools 6-8 Virtual Academy. Based on the available data, Erik Ramstad Middle School stands out as the stronger-performing school in the area, with a high statewide ranking, above-average test scores, and a lower dropout rate compared to the state average.

Erik Ramstad Middle School, operated by the Minot 1 district, has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in North Dakota, placing 7th out of 26 in the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in both math and reading proficiency exceed the district and state averages, and its dropout rate of 4.0% is lower than the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0% is an area that could benefit from further attention and intervention.

Overall, the data indicates that Erik Ramstad Middle School is providing a quality education to its students, with room for improvement in addressing chronic absenteeism.

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.
