Saint John High School has seen impressive improvements in its four-year graduation rates, going from 82.4% in 2023-2024 to 100% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with 10th-grade reading proficiency higher than the state average (59.5% vs. 41%), but math and science proficiency lower. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Despite these challenges, the school has seen a steady increase in its per-student spending, going from $13,418 in 2018-2019 to $18,712 in 2021-2022.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Dunseith High School, Turtle Mountain High School, Turtle Mountain Community High School, and Mt Pleasant High School, Saint John High School generally performs better on standardized tests and has higher graduation rates. Additionally, the school's female and male students have both ranked highly (top 19 and 18, respectively) among North Dakota high schools in the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting that the school is providing equitable educational opportunities for both genders.

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.
