Alberton K-12 Schools

The Alberton K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of three schools: Alberton Elementary, Alberton High School, and Alberton Middle School. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate across all three schools.

Among the three schools, Alberton Elementary stands out as the highest performer, with the best test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, as well as the highest overall district ranking at 276 out of 387 in Montana. In contrast, Alberton Middle School has the lowest statewide ranking, with a 1-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year, ranking 159 out of 222 Montana middle schools. Alberton High School has also seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 4-star rating and 40th out of 138 Montana high schools in 2020-2021 to a 2-star rating and 126th out of 182 high schools in 2024-2025.

Despite the challenges faced by the district, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, particularly at the middle school level, could be a positive factor in the district's ability to provide more individualized attention and support to students. However, the overall performance of the Alberton K-12 Schools district remains below the state average, suggesting a need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes across all grade levels.
