North Dakota is in the process of making changes in high school curriculum. Currently, high schoolers are required to take three math classes to graduate. The state legislators have approved in both houses graduation changes for high school requirements to keep up with the ever-increasing important role technology plays in everyday life.
Check out how computer science class might be the same as taking math.
A North Dakota bill seeks to favor computer science over math.
Instead of the standard three courses in math, the legislators have proposed to changes that three units to be a computer science class. The course would have to be approved by the state superintendent and contain a significant amount of mathematical concepts. The bill now goes to Governor Doug Burgum’s desk for final approval.
Key takeaways
- At the moment, North Dakota high school students must take 3 math classes in order to graduate.
- A new bill, which has just passed both houses, allows one of those classes to be a computer science class.
- This change in legislature reflects the importance of computer skills in today’s job market.

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
