Best Public Schools in Alberton, MT

Summary:

The city of Alberton, Montana is home to three schools: Alberton Elementary, Alberton High School, and Alberton Middle School. These schools serve a relatively small student population, with enrollments ranging from 34 to 89 students. The Alberton K-12 Schools district is ranked 276th out of 387 districts in Montana and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools, Alberton Elementary has relatively high proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science, but a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Alberton High School, on the other hand, has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, with proficiency rates in core subjects well below the state averages. Alberton Middle School has consistently low statewide rankings and proficiency rates, despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio of the three schools.

Across all three schools, the data reveals a concerning trend of consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggest that the Alberton school district serves a high-need student population, which may require additional resources and support to address their unique educational needs.
