Summary:
The 56585 zip code area is home to two schools - Ulen-Hitterdal Elementary and Ulen-Hitterdal Secondary, both part of the Ulen-Hitterdal Public School District. While the secondary school stands out as a high-performing institution, the elementary school lags behind in several key metrics.
Ulen-Hitterdal Secondary boasts an impressive 90.9% 4-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, along with MCA-III test scores that generally exceed district and state averages. In contrast, Ulen-Hitterdal Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among its student population. The elementary school's MCA-III proficiency rates are mostly below state averages, with the exception of 5th-grade reading and science.
The performance gap between the two schools is notable, with Ulen-Hitterdal Secondary earning a 3-star state ranking, while Ulen-Hitterdal Elementary is ranked 2 stars. The homogeneous racial demographics, with a majority white student population, and the relatively low student-teacher ratios at both schools may also be factors contributing to the performance differences.
