This high-performing school consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency and stands out among nearby schools like Ulen-Hitterdal Elementary, Fertile-Beltrami Elementary, and Norman County East Elementary.

Ada-Borup-West Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its consistently high proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments, with 61.97% proficiency in Math and 63.12% proficiency in Reading, compared to the state averages of 45.47% and 49.85%, respectively.

While Ada-Borup-West Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, there are a few areas to watch. The school's Math proficiency rates have seen a slight decline, from 67.88% in 2022-2023 to 61.97% in 2023-2024, which could be an area for improvement. Additionally, the increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 41.69% in 2021-2022 to 55.56% in 2022-2023, suggests that the school may need to address the unique needs of its growing economically disadvantaged population to ensure continued academic success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
