Summary:

The Griggs County Central 18 district contains a single high school, Griggs County Central High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in the rural community of Cooperstown, North Dakota, with a very small enrollment of 83 students.

Griggs County Central High School presents a striking paradox: it boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding the state average of 84.2%, yet its academic proficiency scores are alarmingly low. Math proficiency stands at just 10%, a staggering 31 percentage points below the state average of 41%, while reading proficiency (39.5%) is nearly on par with the state (40%), and science proficiency (29.5%) trails the state average (38%). The school's state ranking has also been highly volatile, earning a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 but dropping to a 1-star rating in both 2022-2023 and 2024-2025, suggesting that the performance of a small number of students can dramatically swing overall results from year to year.

For parents, the key takeaway is that while the school is clearly effective at ensuring students graduate, the academic rigor, particularly in math, is a critical concern. The school spends a healthy $12,522 per student and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.4:1, conditions that typically support strong outcomes. This suggests the issue is not a lack of resources, but rather a need for targeted instructional strategies and math intervention programs. The school's reading proficiency is a relative strength, but the overall academic picture requires careful consideration for families prioritizing strong standardized test performance.

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.
