The school is part of the Ft Totten 30 school district, which is ranked 134 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Four Winds Community High School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in North Dakota, with rankings between 113-125 out of 114-125 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average, with only 10-19.5% of students proficient or better in math, reading, and science. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 69% and 84.2% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average, and it has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 4% to 29% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 89% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average.

The nearby schools, such as Warwick High School, Minnewaukan High School, and Devils Lake High School, also perform poorly compared to the state average, but Four Winds Community High School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Despite the school's low performance, there is no evidence of significant improvement over the past 10 years, and the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes.

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.
