Summary

Alberton High School is a small public high school in Alberton, Montana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of just 41 students. Despite its small size, the school has some unique characteristics that set it apart from nearby schools.

One of the most notable features of Alberton High School is its extremely low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.9 to 9.4 students per teacher over the past few years. This is significantly lower than the nearby Frenchtown High School, which has a ratio of 22.7 students per teacher. However, the school's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below the state averages. The school's economic challenges are also evident, with a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, much higher than the 32.42% rate at Frenchtown High School.

Interestingly, the nearby Bronc Fast Track virtual school outperforms Alberton High School and Frenchtown High School on several key metrics, including test scores and student-teacher ratio. This suggests that alternative educational models may be able to achieve better outcomes for students in the area. Despite these challenges, Alberton High School's low student-teacher ratio and the presence of other educational options in the region indicate that there may be opportunities for the school to improve and better serve its students.
