High Schools in Butte High School

Summary:

Butte High School is the sole high school serving the Butte, Montana area, providing education for grades 9-12. With 1,266 students, the school has a district rank of 187 out of 387 in Montana and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While Butte High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 43rd out of 122 schools in 2023-2024 to 84th out of 182 schools in 2024-2025, its academic performance remains below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency on the ACT with Writing.

One notable characteristic of Butte High School is its high poverty rate, with a 100% free and reduced lunch rate in the 2024-2025 school year. This suggests the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which could impact the resources and support available to students. However, the school's relatively small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.4, may provide more individualized attention and support for its students.

Overall, while Butte High School District is the sole high school serving the area, the data indicates the school is facing challenges in terms of its academic performance and the socioeconomic status of its student population. Further analysis and comparison to other high schools in Montana could provide more insights into the school's strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.
