Best Public Schools in Zip Code 58802

Summary:

The 58802 zip code area in North Dakota is home to a single high school, Williston High School, which serves students in the Williston Basin 7 school district. Based on the available data, Williston High School appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of high schools in the state over the past three years.

Williston High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science falling well below the state averages across all grade levels and test types. For example, the school's 10th-grade math proficiency rate was just 13%, compared to a 22% state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 84.2% and dropout rate of 4% also suggest room for improvement in student outcomes.

While the school's per-student spending of $11,102 and a student-teacher ratio of 14:1 indicate that it may have access to adequate resources, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (19.44%) could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. Addressing the root causes of Williston High School's challenges, whether they be related to resources, student demographics, or other factors, will be crucial for improving student outcomes and moving the school up in the statewide rankings.

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.
