Linton High School has shown strong academic performance, particularly in reading, with 69.5% of 10th-grade students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 41%. The school also maintains a high graduation rate of 94.1%, exceeding the state average. However, the school's math and science proficiency rates are closer to the state averages. Linton High School has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 15.19% to 29.55% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. The school's per-student spending has steadily increased, reaching $19,013 in 2021-2022, higher than the state average, and it has a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.7 to 10.2 over the past few years.

Interestingly, Strasburg High School, another small, rural high school in the region, has consistently ranked higher in the state than Linton High School, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Linton High School to learn from its neighbor's best practices. Additionally, Linton High School has shown notable differences in the performance of female and male students, with the school ranking 14th out of 57 ND high schools for female students, but 56th out of 57 for male students, indicating a need to address any underlying factors contributing to this gender gap.

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.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

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.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
