Summary

Divide County High School is a public high school located in Crosby, North Dakota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 152 students. The school is part of the Divide County 1 school district, which is ranked 124 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Divide County High School's performance, as measured by proficiency rates in A-Plus and NDSA assessments, is significantly below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 10% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 22%. The school's reading and science proficiency rates are also well below the state averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 82.4% to 88.9%, indicating room for improvement.

The school faces challenges related to its student demographics and socioeconomic status, with 23.03% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school's per-student spending is relatively high at $19,763 in the 2021-2022 school year, and its student-teacher ratio has been lower than the state average, these resources have not translated into improved academic performance. The school's declining performance and inconsistent graduation rates suggest the need for targeted interventions and more effective resource allocation to address the unique needs of its student population.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

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.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
