Browning High School

Summary:

Browning High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Browning High School District, which is ranked 363 out of 387 districts in Montana and rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 633 students, the school's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with only 10.64% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 0% in Mathematics, and 1.02% in Science.

Browning High School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 116 out of 122 Montana high schools in 2023-2024 to 169 out of 182 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. With a student-teacher ratio of 16.3, slightly higher than the state average, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Given the school's poor academic performance and high poverty levels, it is likely that Browning High School would benefit from targeted interventions and support, such as additional funding, teacher professional development, and student support services, to help improve student outcomes. The data suggests that the school is struggling to keep up with its peers and is failing to provide its students with the education they deserve.
