Summary:
The 58757 zip code in North Dakota is home to a single elementary school, Mandaree Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6. This small, rural school is part of the Mandaree 36 school district and faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student outcomes.
Mandaree Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of North Dakota elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a statewide ranking of 212 out of 216 schools in the most recent year. The school's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science are all significantly lower than the state averages, often by 20 percentage points or more. Additionally, the school had a chronic absenteeism rate of 20% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is quite high.
Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 and high per-student spending of $28,137 (significantly higher than the state average), Mandaree Elementary School is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. A high percentage (70.14%) of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. To improve the school's performance, the district and school leaders may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the root causes of the low academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism.
