Summary:
The city of Noxon, Montana is home to three schools: Noxon School (elementary), Noxon High School, and Noxon 7-8 (middle school). These schools, which serve the Noxon Elementary and Noxon High School districts, face significant challenges in meeting state-level academic standards, despite their relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher-than-average spending per student.
Among the standout schools, Noxon High School stands out, ranking 104 out of 182 Montana high schools and earning a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's science proficiency rate for 11th-grade students (33.33%) exceeds the state average of 30.03%, and its student-teacher ratio of 6.7 is relatively low. In contrast, Noxon School (elementary) has a lower state ranking (257 out of 401) but has shown improvement in its SchoolDigger rating, moving from 1 star to 2 stars in recent years.
Across the district, the schools in Noxon generally perform below the state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. This trend is consistent, suggesting systemic challenges that may be influenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients (ranging from 96.43% to 100%) among the student populations. However, the district's focus on resource allocation and small class sizes presents opportunities for targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
