Tioga 15

Summary:

The Tioga 15 district in North Dakota is home to two schools: Central Elementary School and Tioga High School. While Central Elementary School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 47th out of 48 schools in 2022-2023 to 37th out of 53 schools in 2024-2025, Tioga High School has experienced a significant decline, dropping from 44th out of 125 schools in 2015-2016 to 102nd out of 108 schools in 2014-2015.

Central Elementary School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 20% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is a concern that the district should address. However, the school has performed slightly better than the Tioga 15 district and the state of North Dakota in terms of proficiency in A-Plus/Math and A-Plus/Reading for all grades in 2024-2025. In contrast, Tioga High School maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 84.2% in the 2024-2025 school year, but had a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (8.41%) compared to Central Elementary School (11.25%) in the 2023-2024 school year.

The data also reveals differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios between the two schools. Central Elementary School had a spending of $14,850 per student in 2021-2022, while Tioga High School had a higher spending of $16,190 per student. Additionally, Tioga High School had a lower student-teacher ratio of 12.6 students per teacher in 2023-2024, compared to 14.5 students per teacher at Central Elementary School. These factors may contribute to the schools' varying performance levels and should be considered when evaluating the quality of education provided in the Tioga 15 district.

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.
