Summary:
The Hysham K-12 Schools district in Montana contains a single high school, Hysham High School, which serves a small student population of just 28 students. While the school was previously ranked higher, its performance has declined significantly in recent years, now ranking 146th out of 182 high schools in the state.
Hysham High School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on the ACT with Writing exam falling well below the state averages, particularly in Mathematics. The school is also rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. However, the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 6.7 suggest a potentially more personalized learning environment, which could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.
Additionally, a high percentage (57.14%) of Hysham High School students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. This socioeconomic challenge may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, and the district may need to explore strategies to better support these students. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $23,283 also raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of resource allocation within the school and district.
