High Schools in Lincoln County High School

Summary:

Lincoln County High School is the sole high school serving the Eureka, Montana area. With 273 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.2, the school has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 85th out of 124 schools in 2022-2023 to 63rd out of 182 schools in 2024-2025, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lincoln County High School performs well above the state average in English/Language Arts on the ACT exam, with 58.62% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better compared to the state average of 54.99%, the school struggles in Math, with only 23.73% scoring proficient or better, below the state average of 31.25%. The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and receives relatively high per-student spending of $9,347 in the 2018-2019 school year, likely necessary to provide the resources and support required for this student population.

Overall, Lincoln County High School appears to be making progress, with strengths in English/Language Arts, but faces challenges in Math performance and serving a high-poverty student population. The school's steady improvement in its statewide ranking suggests it is moving in the right direction, but continued focus on supporting student needs in all subject areas will be crucial for the school's continued success.
