Summary:
The city of Hobson, Montana has a small school district with 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces challenges with a high rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage, the schools are well-funded with a focus on small class sizes and individualized attention.
The standout school in the Hobson district is Hobson High School, which has consistently ranked among the top 13-16 high schools in the state of Montana over the past 3 years and earned a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hobson High School's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are significantly higher than the district and state averages, with 87.5% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better compared to 54.99% statewide.
In contrast, the Hobson 6-8 middle school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 73rd to 108th out of 222 Montana middle schools. This could be an area of concern that warrants further investigation by the Hobson K-12 Schools district. Overall, the Hobson school district appears to be performing well, with a standout high school and a focus on small class sizes and individualized attention, despite the challenges of economic disadvantage in the community.
