MOTT-REGENT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT
Q1 ACCOUNTABILITY & STUDENT PERFORMANCE REPORT
2026-2027
Executive Summary
Mott-Regent Public School District continues to demonstrate strong performance across academic growth, attendance, college and career readiness, ACT achievement, and fiscal stewardship. This report summarizes key accountability indicators and provides context for Board decision-making.
Enrollment Trends
Enrollment has remained relatively stable for a rural district, declining from 225 students to 213 students over the reported period. Small class sizes continue to support individualized instruction, stronger student-teacher relationships, and targeted academic interventions. As of today we have 208 students enrolled in K-12.
Attendance and Chronic Absenteeism
District attendance rates of 93% to 94% exceed or match state averages. Chronic absenteeism remains a focus area. School staff continue outreach efforts, monitoring, family engagement, and student support strategies designed to improve regular attendance.
Academic Growth
NDSA growth results indicate district performance matched state growth levels in two of the three most recent reporting years. Data suggests students are continuing to make academic progress and that instructional programs are producing positive outcomes.
ACT Performance
Composite ACT performance remains competitive with statewide averages. English scores improved in the latest reporting year, Reading showed recovery, and Science performance reached state-level results.
Choice Ready Outcomes
Choice Ready indicators demonstrate strong preparation for postsecondary success. Essential Skills and Workforce Ready rates were in the 80% to 100% range, while overall Choice Ready performance ranged from approximately 70.5% to 79.5%.
Financial Stewardship
Per-pupil expenditures have increased as the district continues investments in facilities, staffing, technology, instructional programming, and student opportunities. Resources continue to be directed toward student success and district goals.
District Strengths
Strong attendance, positive academic growth, competitive ACT performance, Choice Ready success, small class sizes, and a committed staff remain noteworthy strengths.
Strategic Priorities
Continue improving academic growth, reducing chronic absenteeism, strengthening postsecondary pathways, and maintaining enrollment stability through strong programming and community engagement.
Superintendent Conclusion
The accountability indicators present a positive picture of district performance and student success. Mott-Regent remains committed to providing every Wildfire student with meaningful opportunities to succeed in school, career, and life.
District leadership will continue monitoring trends and using data to guide decision-making, resource allocation, and continuous improvement efforts.

It's been a very busy past couple weeks in Mrs. D's Ag classes!
In Community Development we have been working on 3-10 minute demonstrations! We had everything from making slime to pipe cleaner glasses and changing a tire!
In Botany/Horticulture we have been learning about soil and completed a soil types lab using flour to represent silt, sugar as sand, and peanut butter as clay! Students used a soil triangle to make different combinations of soil types!

Stay tuned for more adventures from the Ag Classroom!
