Summary:
The Grenora 99 school district in North Dakota is home to a single high school, Grenora High School, which serves 83 students in grades 7 through 12.
Grenora High School presents a mixed but promising picture for parents. The school boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate, far exceeding the state average of 84.2%, and its reading and science proficiency rates (44.5% each) are above state averages. The school is ranked 52nd out of 125 high schools in North Dakota, a significant rebound from its 71st place ranking the previous year, indicating a positive trend. With a low student-teacher ratio of 10.2:1 and a high per-student spending of $21,623, the school offers a highly supportive, small-school environment where students receive personalized attention.
The most critical area for concern is math proficiency, which sits at just 20%—less than half the state average of 41% and the lowest in the district. This stark contrast with the school's strong reading and science scores suggests a specific weakness in math instruction or curriculum that requires targeted intervention. Despite this challenge, the school's overall trajectory is upward, and its ability to graduate every student while excelling in other subjects makes it a compelling option for families who value a close-knit community and strong non-math academic support.
