Summary:
The city of Joliet, Montana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Joliet School (an elementary school), Joliet High School, and Joliet Middle School. These schools operate under the Joliet Elementary and Joliet High School districts.
Among the three schools, Joliet Middle School stands out as a consistent top performer, ranking among the top 60-71 middle schools in Montana and earning 3-4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Science are notably higher than the district and state averages. In contrast, Joliet High School has had a more fluctuating performance, with its ranking ranging from 41 out of 122 Montana high schools in 2023-2024 to 96 out of 124 in 2022-2023. While the high school's 11th-grade students excel in English Language Arts, they have lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science compared to the state.
Across all three schools, the data reveals high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 34.88% to 35.59%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This socioeconomic challenge may have implications for the schools' resource allocation and support services. Additionally, while Joliet School and Joliet High School have room for improvement in certain subject areas, the consistent performance of Joliet Middle School suggests that the district is providing a quality education and effectively supporting student learning in the middle grades.
