I think that it will be good next year and even in basketball season now that they are getting the kinks worked out. It is disappointing though that the fall season was a waste for the website.

You can't be surprised if the NDHSAA doesn't know how to run a website or manage state sports if they have any ties at all to the teachers union or public education...Look at our public schools state test scores over the last ten years..major downward spiral!! They say this is tax dollars that are well spent!

That's quite a leap from complaining about a web site to taking a potshot at North Dakota teachers!
Where is the data you are talking about that shows test scores in a downward spiral? I'd like to see that.

Not all individual teachers. I'm talking about their union and the state system. ... Although reluctant, the state department of education will give out the compiled test scores to you if asked. Some districts are holding their own but many are failing and bringing down the whole states test scores.....

Atually overall test scores are very good. The state's ACT average is well above the national average. The schools struggle with Minorities such as special education and English Language Learners which is a struggle in all states since it is required they take the same test as the rest of the student population and some can't read or speak English. Some states only teach to the test and I am proud that our state has not stooped to that and teaches its students more than what is going to be on the standardized test. If you actually do the research, you will see that the mandated testing involved with NCLB is flawed in its evaluation of schools and students and things are being worked on to fix the issue.
