New Salem-Almont High School is an exceptional standout, achieving the #1 ranking out of 125 high schools in North Dakota, placing it in the 99th percentile. This marks a remarkable upward trajectory from its #16 ranking the previous year and #37 ranking two years prior. The school boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate, significantly outperforming the state average of 84.2%. Academically, the school excels with 74.5% of students proficient in Reading (34.5 points above the state average) and 59% proficient in Science (21 points above the state average). Math proficiency stands at 44.5%, which is above the state average of 41% but represents the school's relative area for growth.

Key factors contributing to this success include a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2:1 and relatively high per-student spending of $15,046, which together allow for individualized attention. Only 18.79% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a lower-poverty population. The school's consistent improvement from the 70th to the 99th percentile over three years demonstrates a powerful, sustained trend in academic performance and school effectiveness, making it a model for other schools in the state.

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.
