Summary:

The 58788 zip code area has only one high school, Tgu-Towner High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Tgu 60 school district. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 78th out of 125 schools in the state but as low as 118th out of 122 schools. While the school's 4-year graduation rate is 84.2%, its academic proficiency in math, reading, and science lags behind the district and state averages.

Tgu-Towner High School serves a student population with significant economic challenges, with 40.62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $12,849, the school's academic performance suggests that these resources may not be translating into consistently strong outcomes for students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.3 is lower than the state average, but this does not appear to be enough to overcome the academic proficiency challenges the school faces.

Overall, Tgu-Towner High School is the sole high school in the 58788 zip code area, and its performance has been inconsistent in recent years. While the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, the data suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its curriculum, teaching methods, and resource allocation to better support student learning and improve academic outcomes.

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.
