GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Watford City High School is a very wonderful and gorgeous high school. They provide all students with chrome books and have taken college readiness quite seriously within the past two years. However school culture isn't the best here.

Most of the teachers were amazing. They made personal connections with the students and made each day a good day. The only bad part about this school is they try so hard to get us to graduate but hardly at all to help us learn something.

When I first moved to Watford I knew no one. The first time I meet someone else was when football started. Immediately everyone started to ask me questions, I felt more than welcome knowing there are many people to talk to. Once school started I met many great people that wanted to talk. The teachers are great educators who do their best to get you ready for life. If you need more attention from a teacher they'll be more than happy to help you.
