Summary:
May-Port Cg 14 is home to a single high school, May-Port Cg High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 in the small, rural community of Mayville, North Dakota, with a total enrollment of 143 students.
May-Port Cg High School stands out for its exceptionally high graduation rate of 92.1%, which is nearly 8 percentage points above the state average of 84.2%. The school also offers a very personalized learning environment with a student-teacher ratio of just 9.2 to 1, and spends $11,119 per student. However, academic proficiency in core subjects is a significant concern. While reading proficiency (39%) is close to the state average (40%), math proficiency (19%) and science proficiency (24%) are roughly half the state averages of 41% and 38%, respectively. This creates a notable paradox: the school is very effective at getting students to graduate, but a large majority are not meeting state benchmarks in math and science.
The school's state ranking has been relatively stable over the past three years, consistently placing in the bottom third of North Dakota high schools (currently 90th out of 125). With only 18.88% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a relatively low-poverty population, making the below-average test scores an interesting anomaly. This suggests that the academic challenges are not primarily driven by socioeconomic factors, but may relate to instructional strategies or curriculum focus. For parents, the key takeaway is that May-Port Cg High School excels at ensuring students complete their education, but families should investigate the school's approach to math and science instruction to understand the gap between its strong graduation outcomes and its low proficiency rates.
