Summary

Mandan High School is a public high school serving 1,152 students in grades 9-12 in Mandan, North Dakota, which is part of the Mandan 1 School District. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past decade, ranging from 5th to 12th place among North Dakota high schools.

Mandan High School has shown steady improvement in its four-year graduation rates, increasing from 82.4% in 2023-2024 to 93.3% in 2024-2025, which is now on par with or exceeding the state average. The school's dropout rates have also improved, declining from 5.0% in 2023-2024 to 3.0% in 2024-2025, though still slightly higher than the state average. However, Mandan High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 20% to 25% in recent years, which is an area of concern. The school's test scores in mathematics, reading, and science are generally lower than the Mandan 1 School District and state averages, suggesting that academic performance is an area that needs improvement.

When compared to other high schools in the Bismarck-Mandan area, such as Legacy High School, Bismarck High School, and Century High School, Mandan High School generally performs below its peers in terms of test scores and academic achievement. The school also has two nearby alternative educational options, Mandan Virtual High School and Brave Center Academy, which may provide unique learning opportunities for some students.

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.
