Summary

Midway High School is a small public high school in Inkster, North Dakota, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 52 students. While the school is part of the Midway 128 school district, which is ranked 79 out of 134 districts in the state, Midway High School itself has seen fluctuating academic performance in recent years.

Midway High School's graduation rates have ranged from 82.4% to 90.9% over the past few years, generally above the state average but not consistently high compared to nearby schools like Park River Area High School and Larimore High School. Additionally, the school's test scores in math, reading, and science are lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 20% of Midway High School students were proficient or better in math, compared to 44% in the Midway 128 district and 41% statewide.

One potential factor contributing to Midway High School's academic challenges is its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 32.73% to 50.94% over the past few years. This is higher than the nearby schools, such as Park River Area High School (27.23%) and Larimore High School (21.81%). However, Midway High School's small size and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.9 to 7.3, could be leveraged to implement targeted interventions and personalized learning strategies to improve student 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.
