East Fairview School Named #1 In State Of North Dakota

East Fairview School was ranked #1 in the State of North Dakota by Niche, a website that ranks schools, colleges and communities across the country. The school was #1 out of 257 elementary schools and #1 out of 97 middle schools.

Niche gave East Side an A+ in Academics, with 65% of the students proficient in reading and math. It also awarded the school an A + for teachers due to the student/teacher ratio of 6-1, and the excellence of the staff.

Principal Gackle was totally surprised at the news which he accidentally found while scanning an article. He said the school had not been contacted for the assessment. "It's awesome," he said. "I agree with everything they said! I am super proud of the staff, the school board and the community. It's rewarding to get recognition from outside of our building."
