Box Elder High School

Box Elder High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Box Elder, Montana area. With an enrollment of just 86 students, the school appears to be struggling academically compared to other high schools in the state. According to the data, Box Elder High School is ranked 154 out of 182 Montana high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance on the ACT with Writing exam is particularly concerning, with only 18.75% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 0% proficient in Mathematics, significantly below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a very high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying for this program, suggesting a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population. The small student-teacher ratio of 7:1 could be a positive factor, but the overall low performance and ranking indicate that there are likely other systemic challenges impacting the school's ability to provide a high-quality education.

Compared to other high schools in Box Elder High School District, the data suggests that Box Elder High School is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. Further analysis would be needed to fully understand the root causes of the school's struggles and identify potential strategies for improvement, but the data highlights the importance of closely examining school performance data to target resources and support where they are most needed.
