West Fargo claims second largest enrollment in North Dakota

Initial enrollment numbers show West Fargo Public Schools has become the second largest school district in the state, with 11,728 students enrolled in preschool through twelfth grade. 

With West Fargo Public Schools’ Return to Learn Plan being approved by the School Board on August 10, the district amended the 2020 – 2021 academic calendar to include two start dates for students: Thursday, September 3 and Tuesday, September 8. Roughly half of the student body started on each of the two days, with the district’s virtual students also reporting Tuesday morning for the first day of instruction. The indicated enrollment number is inclusive of all students (both cohorts and virtual students) registered with the district.
