Summary:

ZIP code 58801 has one listed school, Missouri Ridge Elementary School, serving kindergarten through fifth grade and enrolling 397 students. Its latest all-grades results are below North Dakota’s in math, reading, and science, with science the most pronounced shortfall: 5–13% at the school compared with 39% statewide.

There is no meaningful top- or bottom-performing school comparison within the ZIP code because Missouri Ridge is the only school listed. Compared with the state in 2025–2026, it scored 30–38% in math versus 54%, 35–43% in reading versus 57%, and 5–13% in science versus 39%. That puts the school 16–24 percentage points below the state in math, 14–22 points below in reading, and 26–34 points below in science. Science was also 14–22 points below the 27% reported for Williston Basin 7; the school’s math and reading ranges reach the district’s results.

Math and reading improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while science declined: math rose from 16% to 30–38%, reading from 18% to 35–43%, and science fell from 24% to 5–13%. SchoolDigger ranked Missouri Ridge 210th of 216 schools (3rd percentile) in 2025–2026, better than 215th of 216 (0th percentile) the year before, but it received 0 stars in both years; it also received 0 stars in 2023–2024. For context, its student–teacher ratio was 14.7:1 in 2024–2025, and 38% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. Chronic absenteeism was 32% in 2025–2026, compared with 29% districtwide and 19% statewide. Because only one school is listed, these data cannot show how schools in the ZIP code differ from one another.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

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.
