Summary:

The 58802 zip code is home to a single high school, Williston High School, which serves the Williston Basin 7 school district. While the school has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 84.2% and a higher-than-average dropout rate of 4.0%, it faces several academic challenges, with student performance consistently below state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.

Williston High School's 10th and 11th grade students struggle with proficiency in math and reading, with only 13% and 34% meeting standards, respectively, compared to state averages of 22% and 41% in 10th grade, and 32% and 46% in 11th grade. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, which may contribute to the academic challenges. The school's student population also faces economic disadvantages, with 19.44% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Williston High School's spending per student of $11,102 and student-teacher ratio of 14:1 are relatively in line with state averages, suggesting that resource allocation may not be the primary driver of the school's underperformance. Addressing the academic and attendance issues at Williston High School will likely require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the school and its student population.

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.
