United 7

The United 7 district in North Dakota is home to two schools: Burlington-Des Lacs Elementary School and Des Lacs-Burlington High School. The data reveals that Burlington-Des Lacs Elementary School is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 15 elementary schools in the state and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the high school's academic performance data is not provided, making it difficult to assess its standing compared to the elementary school or state/district averages.

Key metrics show that Burlington-Des Lacs Elementary School has significantly higher proficiency rates in mathematics and reading compared to district and state averages, with 61% and 60% proficiency respectively. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 8.0%, while the high school's rate is much higher at 23.0%. Socioeconomic factors indicate that the elementary school spends more per student ($12,064) than the high school ($11,361), and has a slightly higher free/reduced lunch rate of 16.02% compared to the high school's 11.39%.

These insights suggest that the United 7 district is home to a high-performing elementary school that is effectively supporting student learning and achievement. However, the lack of detailed performance data for the high school makes it difficult to draw conclusions about the overall educational landscape in the district. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the attendance and resource allocation differences between the two schools could provide valuable insights to help the district address any areas of concern and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
