What stands out at Strasburg High School

Small campus with unusually lean teacher staffing

Strasburg High School sits near the smaller end of the North Dakota enrollment distribution while also reporting a lower student-teacher ratio than most state schools. That pairing is consistent with a compact, teacher-dense setting, though small scale can limit the number of specialized courses or support roles a campus can sustain. The program and staffing sections below show whether the lean ratio extends beyond classroom teachers into broader student services.

Resource indicators are the standout signal

Strasburg High School's economic-need measure is not at a state extreme, while its Resource Investment Index is. The campus outranks most North Dakota schools on the combined reported-resource measure, so the differentiator comes from staffing, counselor access, gifted programming, or attendance rather than from an unusually low-need population alone. The component breakdown identifies which inputs actually produce that placement.

Attendance is a relative strength

7.9% of Strasburg High School students were chronically absent in the 2021-22 civil-rights collection. On its face, that is a comparatively low historical rate, though this page does not treat it as a current national benchmark or guarantee current-year performance. Here, attendance is a more distinctive signal than the presence or absence of any single specialist role.

Strasburg High School is a mid-sized combined-grade school in Strasburg, North Dakota, enrolling 63 students.

Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 9:1 puts it in the smaller third of North Dakota schools by student-teacher ratio.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 22.4% lands close to the North Dakota typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 63 puts it in the smaller third of North Dakota schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index lands in the upper third of 498 scored North Dakota schools.

Against 65 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #18.

Its student body is predominantly White (94% of enrollment) (diversity index 12/100).

Counselor coverage is strong, about 126 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.

Attendance holds up well here: only 7.9% of students were chronically absent, below the typical post-pandemic national figure.

Among Strasburg's public schools, it stands alongside Strasburg Elementary School (44 students): Strasburg High School is larger than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (9:1 vs 6.3:1).

Its district, Strasburg 15, also runs Strasburg Elementary School (44 students).
