Summary:

There is only one middle school located in the 58763 zip code area - New Town Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the New Town 1 school district. The data reveals that this school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of North Dakota middle schools over the past three years, maintaining a 0-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale.

New Town Middle School faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20% and a significant portion of its student population (48.2%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's low performance, it spends a relatively high amount per student ($19,032) and has a small student-teacher ratio of 7:1, suggesting that resource allocation and teaching strategies may not be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes.

Overall, the data paints a picture of a struggling middle school that is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's consistently low rankings, high chronic absenteeism, and high poverty levels suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and support the academic success of the students.

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.
