High Schools in Williston Basin 7

Summary:

The Williston Basin 7 school district in North Dakota is home to two high schools: Williston High School and Del Easton Alternative High School. While Williston High School is the larger of the two with 1,363 students, Del Easton Alternative High School stands out with its significantly higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio.

Academically, the schools in the Williston Basin 7 district face some challenges. Williston High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 70.8%, which is lower than the state average, and both the high school and the district as a whole perform below the state average in proficiency rates for NDSA Mathematics, Reading, and Science assessments. In contrast, Del Easton Alternative High School has an even lower 4-year graduation rate of 50.0%.

The racial demographics of the two schools also differ, with Williston High School being more diverse and Del Easton Alternative High School having a higher percentage of Hispanic students. This suggests that the district may need to examine its resource allocation and strategies to better support the educational needs of all its students, regardless of the school they attend.

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.
