Summary:

Bottineau 1 is home to a single high school, Bottineau Junior-Senior High School, which serves grades 7 through 12 with 320 students in the Bottineau, North Dakota area.

Bottineau Junior-Senior High School presents a striking paradox for parents. On one hand, the school excels at keeping students engaged and on track to graduate, boasting a strong 92.9% graduation rate (well above the state average of 84.2%) and a low 3.0% dropout rate. Chronic absenteeism is also impressively low at just 12%, compared to 20% statewide, and the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.6:1, suggesting a supportive environment where students feel connected. However, these positive non-academic indicators stand in stark contrast to severe academic underperformance. Proficiency rates in Math and Science are alarmingly low at only 14% each, far below state averages of 41% and 38%, while Reading proficiency sits at 39%, just under the state average of 40%. This creates a "graduation vs. proficiency" paradox where students are likely to graduate but without mastering core subjects.

The most concerning trend is the school's rapid decline in state ranking, dropping from the 48th percentile (3-star) in 2022-2023 to the 14th percentile (1-star) in 2024-2025. This three-year slide, combined with test scores significantly lower than the district's overall averages, indicates the academic struggle is concentrated at the junior-senior high level. For parents, this means Bottineau Junior-Senior High School offers a caring, low-absenteeism environment but is facing a serious academic crisis in Math and Science that requires urgent attention and intervention.

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.
