Best Public Schools in Hysham, MT

Summary:

The city of Hysham, Montana is home to three small schools: Hysham School (an elementary school), Hysham High School, and Hysham 7-8 (a middle school). These schools serve the Hysham K-12 Schools district, which faces economic challenges with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across all three campuses.

Among the standout findings, Hysham School excels in mathematics, with 77.27% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Hysham High School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 14th out of 129 high schools in 2011-2012 to 146th out of 182 in 2024-2025, with a current 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the small enrollments across the district, ranging from 11 students at Hysham 7-8 to 53 students at Hysham School, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios. However, the high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the free and reduced lunch figures, suggest that the Hysham community faces significant challenges that may impact the schools' performance and development.
