Summary

Surrey High School is a public high school located in Surrey, North Dakota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 189 students. The school is part of the Surrey 41 school district, which is ranked 100 out of 134 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Surrey High School has had a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 30th to 107th out of North Dakota high schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school ranked 30th and had a 4-star rating, but this has since declined to a 1-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year, with a ranking of 94th. However, the school has performed better in terms of its female and male student groups, ranking 18th and 19th, respectively, out of North Dakota high schools in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, Surrey High School has had a strong graduation rate, with a 100% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years, which is higher than the state average.

When comparing Surrey High School to nearby schools, such as Glenburn High School and Des Lacs-Burlington High School, it becomes evident that Surrey High School's performance is generally lower, with the nearby schools having higher academic rankings, better test scores, and higher graduation rates. While Surrey High School has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school's low test scores and declining rankings suggest that there may be other factors, such as teaching quality, curriculum, or resource allocation, that are impacting student achievement. To address these challenges, it is crucial for Surrey High School to focus on continuous improvement and implement strategies to improve its academic performance, particularly in the areas of mathematics and science.

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.
