In brief

Page’s schools, in brief

Page’s schools are very small

All of Page’s public school students add up to 97 children, with about 9 per teacher. That means real individual attention, but also that a single class can swing the scores from year to year. The grade is built on just 89 tested students, so read it as a rough guide. Every school ↓

High spending, middling results

Page spends $23,200 per student, 40% more than the state average, and each teacher has about 9 students, compared with 12 statewide. Results haven’t kept pace: the schools beat 48% of districts. Much of the extra cost comes with running a very small school. Test scores ↓

Page has its own elementary school and shares the rest

Page’s own school is Hope Page Elementary School, for pre-K through grade 6. From grade 7, students go to Hope Page High School in Hope. Rochester and Rich send their kids to all the same schools. The elementary school earns the best grade on the path (B+); the middle school earns the lowest (C+). See the path ↓

Math is above the state; reading is just below

Reading proficiency is 42%, level with the state. Math is 42%, 4 points above the state. Both are close enough to average that small changes could flip them. Test scores ↓

This summary is written from the data on this page. Test scores are from 2020–21, a pandemic year, so treat small gaps with caution; the grade rests on only 89 tested students.

How the School Grade works
  • Results, not inputs. Math and reading proficiency on North Dakota’s state tests against the state average. Spending and class size are shown but don’t count. Tests: 2020–21; graduation: class of 2020.
  • The whole path. A town’s grade follows its kids through every district that serves it, weighted by students tested.
  • Graded within the state. Each state writes its own tests, so districts are compared with the rest of North Dakota only. A+ is the top 5%, A the next 10%, A− the next 10%, the B range the next 30%, the C range the next 30%, D the rest.
  • What a grade can’t tell you. Test results track family income, so we also compare towns with similar incomes. Visit, ask other parents, and read neighbor reviews. It’s our own summary of U.S. Department of Education data, not an official rating.
