Woodrow Wilson High School is a public high school located in Fargo, North Dakota. It currently serves about 130 students in grades 10 through 12 and is a part of the Fargo Public Schools system. The school operates as an alternative learning model to the District's other three comprehensive high schools, Fargo North High School, Fargo South High School, and Davies High School.
Woodrow Wilson High school is an alternative high school program. Learning goals and graduation requirements are the same as at other Fargo Public Schools high schools, though the format and climate differ significantly. Class sizes are capped at 18 students, and every student is assigned a staff advisor. This practice allows the school to focus on the needs of each individual student. Students attend two classes per day. Classes are 2 1/2 hours in length and should take an average of 27 days to complete. Some classes are self-paced while others are teacher-directed. The basic structure and rules of this alternative school make students responsible for their own educational experiences.
