Summary:

The Belcourt 7 district contains a single high school, Turtle Mountain Community High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 with 557 students in Belcourt, North Dakota.

Turtle Mountain Community High School is ranked 119th out of 125 high schools in the state, placing it in the bottom 5% for the 2024-2025 school year. This represents a significant decline from the previous two years when it ranked in the 14th percentile. The school's graduation rate is 81.8%, slightly below the state average of 84.2%, while its dropout rate of 12.0% is three times higher than the state average of 4.0%. Test proficiency rates are critically low: only 8% of students are proficient in math (state average: 41%), 28% in reading (state average: 40%), and 19% in science (state average: 38%).

The most alarming statistic is a chronic absenteeism rate of 61%, which is more than triple the state average of 20%. This likely drives the low test scores and high dropout rate. Despite spending $33,827 per student—a very high amount—and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.7:1, the school struggles with deep-seated challenges. Every student (100%) qualifies for free or reduced lunch, indicating universal economic disadvantage. The combination of high spending, low outcomes, and declining performance suggests that non-academic factors, such as poverty and community health, are the primary barriers to student success, requiring holistic solutions beyond the classroom.

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.
