Summary:
The Missoula High School district in Montana comprises five high schools: Sentinel High School, Hellgate High School, Big Sky High School, Missoula Connect Academy High School, and Seeley-Swan High School. These schools vary in size, performance, and resource allocation, presenting a diverse educational landscape for the community.
Hellgate High School and Sentinel High School stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, consistently ranking among the best in Montana. These schools boast high proficiency rates on the ACT with Writing exam, exceeding the district and state averages in core subjects. In contrast, Missoula Connect Academy High School excels in English Language Arts but struggles in Mathematics, while Seeley-Swan High School lags behind the district and state in all subject areas.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with Seeley-Swan High School spending the most per student but underperforming, while Hellgate High School and Big Sky High School have lower spending per student. These findings suggest the need for the Missoula High School district to re-evaluate its resource allocation and address the achievement gap among its schools to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
