According to the release, 177 WHS students took the ACT. The average score in English was 18.55; mathematics' average was 20.66; reading's average was 19.97; and the average in science was 20.47.This is key:
Only nine states, including North Dakota, tested 98-100 percent of high school students. Of the nine states, North Dakota's composite score of 20.7 is the second highest, missing by .2 points to Illinois, who scored 20.9.
“The results, while lower than in previous years, reflect the abilities of all North Dakota graduates, not just a select few college-bound students,” State Superintendent Dr. Wayne G. Sanstead said.All students take the test; that is very, very impressive.

To help ease the burden, the food bank's mobile food pantry makes the 750-mile round-trip from Fargo to western North Dakota every three months, stopping in Grassy Butte, Watford City and Killdeer. The most recent stop occurred late last month.
Of the 18 communities the mobile food pantry serves, Watford City has one of the biggest turnouts, said Melissa Sobolik of the Great Plains Food Bank. About 200 people typically seek food assistance in the city of more than 1,700.
