Summary:

The Hot Springs K-12 district in Montana consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 high school, and 1 middle school. The data reveals a mixed picture for the district, with the Hot Springs High School standing out as a relative strength, while the Hot Springs Elementary School and Hot Springs 7-8 middle school face challenges in meeting state academic standards.

The Hot Springs High School is ranked 38 out of 182 Montana high schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the state average in 11th-grade proficiency for English Language Arts and Science, but underperformed in Mathematics. In contrast, the Hot Springs Elementary School and Hot Springs 7-8 middle school both underperformed the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades.

The district faces challenges in addressing the consistently high free/reduced lunch rates across all three schools, suggesting a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. This may contribute to the overall lower academic performance compared to state averages, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across all grade levels in the Hot Springs K-12 district.
