Summary

Langdon Area High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Langdon, North Dakota, with a total enrollment of 195 students. The school is part of the Langdon Area 23 school district, which is ranked 102 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Langdon Area High School has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 26th out of 125 schools in 2022-2023 to a low of 105th out of 125 schools in 2024-2025. This volatility in ranking suggests that the school's performance may be inconsistent or heavily influenced by factors that can change from year to year. Additionally, female students at the school have performed significantly better than their male counterparts, with the school ranking 1st out of 57 North Dakota high schools for female students in 2022-2023, but only 34th out of 57 for male students. This indicates a potential gender gap in academic achievement that may require further investigation and targeted interventions.

Langdon Area High School has also seen a decline in its four-year graduation rates, from a high of 96.3% in 2024-2025 to a low of 82.4% in 2023-2024. This drop in graduation rates is concerning and may be an area of focus for the school to understand the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve student retention and success. Furthermore, the school consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for math, reading, and science assessments across all grade levels, which is a significant concern and may be a key driver of the school's low statewide ranking.

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.
