High Schools in Belfry K-12 Schools

Summary:

Belfry High School is the sole high school in the Belfry K-12 Schools district in Montana. Despite its small size, with only 16 students enrolled, the school has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in the state, ranking in the bottom third for the past two decades.

Belfry High School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly lower proficiency rates in core academic subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages. This suggests that the school's students are struggling to meet academic standards. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

While Belfry High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.5 to 1, this has not translated into improved academic performance. The school's persistent challenges, including low rankings, poor academic proficiency, and high poverty levels, indicate that it may require targeted interventions and additional support to address the unique needs of its students and improve educational outcomes.
