High Schools in Richey High School

Summary:

Richey High School is the sole high school serving the Richey, Montana area. This small school of just 22 students in the 2024-2025 school year has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 5.7 and spends significantly more per student ($29,196 in 2018-2019) than the state average, suggesting a strong investment in its educational program.

Academically, Richey High School outperformed the state average in 11th-grade ACT proficiency for English Language Arts (60% vs. 54.99%) and Mathematics (40% vs. 31.25%), but underperformed in Science (20% vs. 30.03%). The school ranked 69 out of 182 Montana high schools in the 2024-2025 school year and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school faces challenges with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (40.91%), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.

Overall, Richey High School appears to be a well-resourced institution that is performing reasonably well academically, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending suggest a focus on providing individualized attention and support to its students. However, the school's lower performance in Science and the socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population may be areas that require further attention and support.
