Nedrose 4, ND - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Nedrose 4

Nedrose Public School District sits in Ward County, North Dakota, in the area surrounding Minot. It runs two schools, Nedrose Elementary and Nedrose High School, and serves students from prekindergarten through twelfth grade. The district is small by enrollment for a full PK-through-12 system, and the student body is predominantly white, with small representations of Black, Hispanic, Native American, multiracial, Asian, and Pacific Islander students. The district did not report free-or-reduced-price-lunch counts, special-education rates, or English-learner figures in the data we received, so the economic and special-population picture is incomplete here. A parent weighing fit would want to ask the district directly about those supports.

State assessment results come from the current-year ND A-PLUS test, and the state flagged that this year brought both a new assessment name and new proficiency cut scores. That means any year-over-year trend would not be safely comparable, so the results are best read as a standalone snapshot rather than a trajectory.

In math, the district's results are uneven across grade levels. Fourth grade stands out as the strongest, where a substantial share of students reached proficiency. Third and eighth grade landed in a moderate range. The clearest soft spots are in fifth and sixth grade, where a relatively small share of students were proficient. Seventh grade fell in between, with a modest share meeting the bar.

English language arts follows a similar pattern of grade-to-grade variation. Fifth grade is the bright spot, with a substantial share of students proficient. Seventh and eighth grade sit in a moderate range. Third and fourth grade are more modest. Sixth grade is the weakest result in the data, with a small share of students reaching proficiency.

Science was tested in two grades. Fourth grade showed a moderate share of students proficient. Eighth grade results were modest, with a smaller share reaching that level.

Participation rates were strong across math and ELA. Science participation in eighth grade was somewhat lower, though the reason for that gap is not explained in the data.

The district did not report a graduation rate, and no civil-rights, discipline, course-access, staffing, or attendance data was available. Program offerings were not provided. A parent looking at Nedrose High School would want to ask about AP, dual-credit, and career-pathway options directly, since none appear in the data we have.

The housing market around the district is relatively affordable. Home values in the area sit below the statewide benchmark and well below national levels. Rents are modest. The price-to-income ratio suggests buying is within reach for many local households, and renting is comparatively affordable. Home values have been rising at a moderate pace year over year, and rents have been climbing a bit faster. The district draws from zip codes tied to Minot and a smaller contribution from Surrey, so families are spread across a mix of Minot-area neighborhoods and rural areas. Minot is the regional anchor, with the infrastructure and services of a small city, while the Surrey contribution reflects a more rural fringe.

We searched for recent parent-relevant district changes, including referendums, tax changes, and curriculum shifts, and found none reported in available sources. The district's strategic priorities were not available either, so we left that out rather than guess.

Nedrose is a small, full-spectrum district serving a largely rural community on the edge of Minot. Its academic results are mixed, with genuine strengths in certain grades and clear soft spots in others, particularly in middle-grade math and sixth-grade ELA. Families drawn to a smaller, close-knit district with affordable housing and a short drive to Minot's amenities may find it a reasonable fit, especially if they are prepared to ask direct questions about academic support, high school programming, and the services available to students who need extra help.
