Welcome to the Bismarck Public School District
INFORMATION FROM BISMARCK PUBLIC SCHOOLS:
Bismarck is the capital city of North Dakota. It's centrally located in the state and bordered on the west by the scenic Missouri River. The population in the metropolitan statistical area, which includes Bismarck, Mandan and the surrounding area, is 101,138.
The Bismarck Public School District has been in the education business for over 125 years (since 1873). The first graduating class was in 1887, when two people graduated. In 2011, 840 students graduated. The oldest building is part of BHS, built in 1934, and the newest buildings are Sunrise Elementary and the Career Academy, which opened in August 2010.
We are the largest school district in the state, with 11,008 students on the first day of school in 2011, and 1,751 staff members. We have more than 500 classrooms in 16 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 senior high schools, an alternative high school, a career academy, technical center, and an early childhood center.
Our drop-out rate in 2010-2011 was 1.3%, or 33 students, and the average daily attendance was 96.5%. All of our schools are "accredited with commendation" by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction and North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Some schools have received "Blue Ribbon" awards, a high national honor.
In grades 10-12, 23% of students are members of the National Honor Society, and 21.5% of the seniors are Presidential Academic Fitness Award winners, maintaining an A- or higher GPA and score at the 85th percentile or above on a national achievement test.
INFORMATION FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE::
Welcome to Bismarck-Mandan, capital of North Dakota. From an outstanding quality of life to a vibrant business community, our recent national accolades confirm what we already know…this is a great place to live, work and play.
Bismarck-Mandan is economically diverse, fast growing and dynamic. Centrally located in North America, and just south of North Dakota's "Energy Corridor," this area is in the midst of economic growth, giving the area's 100,000 residents many opportunities. With new business prospects emerging daily, the only question that remains is, "Why aren't you here?"
Rich with history of exploration and adventure, the true birth of these sister cities was in the late 1800's as the Transcontinental Railroad was being built. More than an area of iron and steam, Bismarck-Mandan was a resting place for Lewis and Clark, as well as the final residence of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry before the Battle of Little Big Horn.
With innovation and inspiration imbedded in the soil, the residents of Bismarck-Mandan seem to work with those same ideals. We support a vibrant energy industry, two major medical facilities, a host of technical service companies and many other innovative businesses both large and small.
There is more to our community than work, however. Bismarck-Mandan offers unlimited opportunities to participate in outdoor activities, a variety of professional sporting events and cultural events. Whether you prefer music, dancing, hunting, hiking, theater, art or bull riding, Bismarck-Mandan has it all.
If the idea of living in an economically flourishing and active community piques your interest, Bismarck-Mandan may be just the place for you to plant your roots. The continued growth and development means no lack of opportunities, no matter your interests or specialties. From nationally known shopping establishments to locally owned firms, there are opportunities for everyone.
With an MSA surpassing 100,000 people, Bismarck-Mandan is moving from a big town to a small city. We have the jobs, retail and residential growth to prove it.
The "Number One Least Stressful Small City in the United States" (Sperling's), "Number Two Best Small Place for Business and Careers" (Forbes), and "Number 10 Best Place to Live"(Outdoor Life Magazine), are just a few accolades Bismarck-Mandan has recently received, not to mention having some of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation. There is no question that our community is a great place to live, work and play.
