Best Public Schools in Zip Code 58852

Summary:

The 58852 zip code area is home to two schools - Central Elementary School and Tioga High School, both part of the Tioga 15 school district. While Tioga High School has shown more consistent performance, Central Elementary School has experienced a concerning decline in statewide rankings and academic achievement.

Central Elementary School has consistently low statewide rankings, dropping from 37th out of 53 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 47th out of 48 in 2022-2023. This is accompanied by below-average test scores, with only 35-43% of students proficient in reading and math, compared to the district and state averages. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20% in 2024-2025, which may be a contributing factor to its declining performance.

In contrast, Tioga High School has shown more fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 44th out of 125 high schools in 2015-2016 to 113th out of 122 in 2013-2014. However, the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.2% in 2024-2025. The socioeconomic differences between the two schools, as evidenced by the varying free/reduced lunch rates, may also play a role in the observed performance disparities.

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.
