Summary:

The city of Garrison, North Dakota is home to a single high school, Garrison High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been somewhat inconsistent in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 54th and 90th out of over 120 schools, and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5.

Garrison High School's academic outcomes are a mixed bag. While the school's four-year graduation rate was a respectable 84.2% in the 2024-2025 school year, its proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science were significantly lower than the state averages, both for 10th grade and across all grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates were 19.5% in Math, 19.5% in Reading, and 39.5% in Science, compared to the state averages of 22%, 41%, and 30%, respectively.

Despite these academic challenges, Garrison High School appears to be allocating significant resources to its educational programs. The school's spending per student was $16,586 in the 2021-2022 school year, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1. However, the school's performance suggests that more targeted interventions and improvements may be needed to help it consistently meet or exceed state-level academic benchmarks and provide a high-quality education for its students.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.
