Summary:

The 58801 zip code area of North Dakota is home to a single middle school, Williston Middle School Central Campus, which serves grades 6-8. While the school has a relatively large enrollment of 1,532 students, it faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming the Williston Basin 7 district and the state of North Dakota in math, reading, and science proficiency.

Williston Middle School Central Campus has a dropout rate of 4.0%, which is higher than the state average, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, indicating potential issues with student engagement and attendance. These factors may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, which is particularly concerning given that the district itself also underperforms the state in many areas, suggesting broader systemic challenges within the educational system.

To address these issues, the school and district should conduct a comprehensive review of the curriculum, instructional practices, and student support systems, while also investigating the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates. Engaging with the school community, including parents, teachers, and local stakeholders, will be crucial in developing a comprehensive plan to improve student outcomes and provide a more supportive learning environment for the students of Williston Middle School Central Campus.

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.
