Summary

Minto High School is a small public high school in Minto, North Dakota, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 89. The school is part of the Minto 20 school district, which is ranked 107 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Minto High School has experienced significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating over the past 10 years, ranging from as high as 32nd out of 125 North Dakota high schools in 2022-2023 with a 4-star rating to as low as 106th out of 118 schools in 2020-2021 with a 1-star rating. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students ranking relatively high (31st out of 65 ND high schools in 2024-2025) but male students and low socioeconomic status students performing much worse (43rd out of 54 and 25th out of 28 ND high schools, respectively, in 2020-2021). Minto High School's test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics, and its four-year graduation rates have fluctuated over the years, ranging from a low of 82.4% in 2023-2024 to a high of 95.2% in the same year.

While Minto High School's performance is generally below the state averages, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons to the nearby schools, such as Fordville-Lankin High School and Midway High School, due to the limited data available. However, the data suggests that these nearby schools may be facing similar challenges, with lower test scores and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
