Summary:

The 58790 zip code is home to a single public high school, Velva High School, which serves grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 210 students. Velva High School is part of the Velva 1 school district, which is ranked 61 out of 134 districts in North Dakota and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Velva High School's performance has been inconsistent in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from #2 in 2023-2024 (5-star rating) to #83 in 2024-2025 (2-star rating). The school's academic performance is mixed, with reading proficiency above the state average but math and science proficiency below the state average. The school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it may serve a more affluent student population.

Despite the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, which could indicate a focus on providing a well-resourced educational environment, the inconsistent performance and mixed academic outcomes suggest that Velva High School may be facing some challenges that need to be addressed. Further analysis and comparison to other schools or districts would be needed to fully understand the school's performance and identify areas for improvement.

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.
