High Schools in Plentywood K-12 Schools

Summary:

The Plentywood K-12 Schools district in Montana contains a single high school, Plentywood High School, which serves grades 9-12. With 101 students, Plentywood High School is a relatively small school, but it has received a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Plentywood High School's academic performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 42nd out of 124 high schools in 2022-2023 to 91st out of 122 in 2023-2024. While the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate is close to the state average, its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates lag behind. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (39.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating it serves an economically disadvantaged population.

Despite these challenges, Plentywood High School's per-student spending of $12,001 is higher than the national average, which could suggest a focus on providing adequate resources and support for students. The school's small size may also allow for more personalized attention, though it may limit the range of course options and extracurricular activities available. Overall, Plentywood High School appears to be a mixed performer, with both strengths and areas for improvement in its academic outcomes and student support services.
