Summary:
The city of Anaconda, Montana, is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area face significant challenges, with all 4 schools having a 100% free or reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
Anaconda Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 61st out of 122 schools in 2023-2024 to 111th out of 124 schools in 2022-2023. Its test scores in English Language Arts (46.03%), Mathematics (28.57%), and Science (25.4%) for 11th-grade students in 2024-2025 are below the state averages. In contrast, Lincoln Primary is the highest-ranked school in the data set, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and a consistent ranking in the top half of Montana elementary schools.
The data also reveals inconsistencies in the schools' performance, with Anaconda Senior High School and Fred Moodry Intermediate both having test scores below the state averages in multiple subjects. Additionally, there appears to be a potential inequity in resource allocation, as Anaconda Senior High School spends $11,625 per student, while the other schools spend $11,075 per student. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted strategies and interventions to support student learning and academic achievement.
