Summary:

The city of Superior, Montana is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Superior Elementary, Superior High School, and Superior 7-8 (a middle school). These schools operate under the Superior K-12 Schools district.

Among the three schools, Superior Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 177 out of 401 Montana elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Superior High School lags behind the state averages in proficiency rates, despite having a very low student-teacher ratio of 8.6.

All three schools in Superior, Montana face significant economic challenges, with 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the data suggests that Superior Elementary is effectively serving its students, while the performance of Superior High School and Superior 7-8 raises questions about the factors influencing student outcomes at the secondary level.
