Summary:

With a total enrollment of 170 students, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, placing in the bottom 10-15% of all Montana high schools over the past three school years.
Academically, Lame Deer High School significantly underperforms the state averages, with only 2.78% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT with Writing/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.99%. In mathematics and science, 0% of 11th-graders at the school were proficient, far below the state averages of 31.25% and 30.03%, respectively. Additionally, the school serves a population with very high levels of economic disadvantage, as 100% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's poor academic performance, Lame Deer High School spends a relatively high amount per student ($18,824) compared to the state average. However, the school's small student-teacher ratio of 16.3 to 1 suggests that the school may have sufficient teaching resources, but the data does not indicate whether these resources are being utilized effectively to support student learning. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted strategies to improve student outcomes.
