Summary:

The 58852 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Central Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-5. While the school has a relatively small enrollment of 329 students, it has faced some challenges in recent years, including a declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance compared to the broader Tioga 15 district and the state of North Dakota.

Central Elementary School's statewide ranking has dropped from a 2-star rating to a 0-star rating over the past three school years, indicating the school is underperforming compared to other elementary schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in A-Plus Math (43%) and Reading (35%) were slightly higher than the Tioga 15 district averages, but lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school's NDSA Math (30%) and Reading (40%) proficiency rates were below the state averages, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep up with statewide academic standards.

Another area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, which could be a contributing factor to its declining performance and ranking. However, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (11.25%) suggests the student population may come from higher-income families, which could impact the school's resource needs and academic support requirements. Despite these challenges, Central Elementary School spends more per student ($14,850) than the state average, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

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.
