High Schools in Culbertson High School

Summary:

Culbertson High School is the sole high school serving the Culbertson, Montana area. With just 77 students, it is a relatively small school that has faced declining performance and rankings in recent years. The school's academic outcomes, as measured by ACT proficiency rates, are significantly below the state averages, indicating significant challenges in providing students with a strong educational foundation.

Culbertson High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, dropping from 79th out of 122 Montana high schools in 2023-2024 to 161st out of 182 in 2024-2025. Its star rating from SchoolDigger has also declined, from 2 out of 5 stars to just 1 out of 5 stars over the same period. This trend suggests the school is struggling to maintain its academic performance and competitiveness compared to other high schools in the state.

One potential contributing factor to the school's challenges is the high poverty rate among its student population, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high-need student population may require additional resources and targeted interventions to address the academic gaps and improve overall outcomes. Despite its small size, Culbertson High School faces significant hurdles in providing a quality education to the students it serves within the Culbertson High School district.
