Arlee High School

Summary:

Arlee High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Arlee, Montana area, with a total enrollment of 135 students. Despite its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, Arlee High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Montana high schools over the past three school years, earning a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on the ACT with Writing exam falling well below state averages in all subject areas. In English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, Arlee High School's proficiency rates range from just 6.06% to 21.21%, compared to state averages of 30.03% to 54.99%. This suggests that students at Arlee High School are struggling to meet the state's academic standards and may be ill-prepared for college or career.

Further compounding the challenges faced by Arlee High School is the high level of economic disadvantage among its student population, as evidenced by the school's 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate. This finding highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of economically disadvantaged students and improve educational outcomes in the Arlee High School district.
