Absarokee High School

Summary:

Absarokee High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Absarokee, Montana. With a total enrollment of 74 students, the school's performance metrics have generally been below the state averages, leading to a decline in its statewide ranking from 3 stars out of 5 in 2020-2021 to a projected 2 stars out of 5 in 2024-2025.

Academically, Absarokee High School struggles, with proficiency rates in ACT with Writing/English Language Arts (47.83%), Mathematics (13.04%), and Science (30.43%) for 11th-grade students in 2024-2025 all falling short of the state averages. The school's overall statewide ranking has declined, indicating a potential need for improvement in student learning and achievement.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as Absarokee High School has a relatively high percentage of students (39.19%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $16,634 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the state average, this investment has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes.
