Best Public Schools in Zip Code 58793

Summary:

The 58793 zip code area is home to two small schools - Westhope Elementary School and Westhope High School, both of which serve the Westhope 17 district. While Westhope Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, Westhope High has experienced a dramatic decline, dropping from 20th out of 117 North Dakota high schools in 2019-2020 to 97th out of 125 in 2024-2025.

Academically, Westhope Elementary outperforms the district and state in math and reading proficiency, but struggles in science. Westhope High, on the other hand, lags behind the district and state in math, reading, and science proficiency for 10th-grade students. Both schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, around 36%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Despite the economic challenges, the schools spend significantly more per student than the state average, and have very low student-teacher ratios.

Overall, the schools in the 58793 zip code area present a mixed picture. While Westhope Elementary has shown some academic strengths, the dramatic decline in Westhope High's performance is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. The high rates of economic disadvantage among the student populations suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
