Summary:

The city of Malta, Montana is home to a single high school, Malta High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Located in the Malta K-12 Schools district, the school has faced fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 16th out of 122 schools in 2023-2024 to 99th out of 124 schools in 2022-2023.

Malta High School's academic proficiency rates on the ACT with Writing exam for 11th-grade students are below the state average in all three subject areas: English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 46.09% of its 128 students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2024-2025 school year. Despite these challenges, Malta High School maintains a student-teacher ratio of 11.1, which is slightly lower than the state average.

While Malta High School is the only high school option for students in the city, its performance has been inconsistent, with significant variations in its statewide ranking and star rating over the past few years. The school's below-average proficiency rates and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggest the need for targeted strategies and additional resources to improve student outcomes and ensure all students in Malta have access to a high-quality education.
