Jamestown Public School District serves 2,743 students across Stutsman County, North Dakota, with a teaching staff of 161. The district's enrollment size positions it as a mid-sized rural system within the state.
Academically, Jamestown outperforms state averages in mathematics proficiency, with 40.5% of students meeting standards compared to the state average of 35.1%. However, the graduation rate of 88.2% falls slightly below North Dakota's 90.2% state average, while the dropout rate stands at 4.0%. Chronic absenteeism affects 14.0% of the student population, a notable factor that may influence overall academic outcomes.
