Summary:
The West Fargo, North Dakota school district consists of 17 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 16 out of 23 in the state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Within the district, a few schools stand out. Liberty Middle School ranks 12 out of 26 middle schools in the state and has a 3-star rating, with strong performance on math, reading, and science assessments. Brooks Harbor Elementary and Legacy Elementary also have 3-star ratings and solid test scores. However, other schools, like West Fargo Sheyenne High School, lag behind in performance.
The district faces some challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 20% across all schools and significant variation in student demographics and resource allocation. The four-year graduation rate for high schools is 84.2%, and the dropout rate is 4.0%. While some schools, like Freedom Elementary and L.E. Berger Elementary, have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, others, like Legacy Elementary, have much lower rates. The district's West Fargo 6 school system will need to address these disparities to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
