Summary:
The city of Killdeer, North Dakota is home to two schools - Killdeer Elementary School and Killdeer High School. While the elementary school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, the high school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating, ranking 25th out of 52 high schools in the state in 2016-2017. Both schools, however, face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting their academic performance.
Killdeer Elementary School has a student enrollment of 396, with a majority white student population (75.76%) and a significant Native American presence (12.63%). The school's proficiency rates in math and reading on the NDSA assessments are below the district and state averages. In contrast, Killdeer 16 district's high school has a graduation rate of 87.9%, though its academic proficiency rates are still below the district and state averages.
Despite the differences in performance, both schools have a consistent per-student spending of $14,159 for the 2021-2022 school year, indicating that funding is not a significant differentiating factor. The schools' unique student demographics and the high chronic absenteeism rates may be more influential in driving student outcomes. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help the schools in Killdeer address these challenges and ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
