Middle Schools in Belcourt 7

Summary:

Belcourt 7, North Dakota is home to a single middle school, Turtle Mountain Community Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked near the bottom of North Dakota middle schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year.

Turtle Mountain Community Middle School faces significant challenges, including a high dropout rate of 4.0%, a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.0%, and academic performance that is well below the state average, with only 24% of students proficient or better in Math and 32% in Reading, compared to state averages of 41% and 40% respectively. The school serves a population with high economic disadvantage, as indicated by the 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite higher-than-average spending per student ($13,092) and a lower student-teacher ratio (9.8) than the state average, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning. Without any other middle schools in the Belcourt 7 district, there is a lack of comparative data to identify potential best practices or areas for improvement.

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.
