Summary:
St Ignatius K-12 Schools is a school district in Montana that includes only one high school, St Ignatius High School. The high school has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 69th out of 124 Montana high schools in 2022-2023 to 149th out of 182 in 2024-2025. This decline is accompanied by significantly lower-than-average proficiency rates on ACT tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
St Ignatius High School serves a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, the school's academic performance remains a concern. The per-student spending at the school is higher than the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes.
Overall, the data suggests that St Ignatius K-12 Schools is facing significant challenges in ensuring that its high school students are meeting academic standards. The district may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining performance and low proficiency rates on standardized tests.
