Ronan High School

Summary:

Ronan High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Ronan, Montana area, with a total enrollment of 376 students. The school is consistently ranked in the bottom third of Montana high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is struggling to perform at a high level compared to other schools in the state.

Ronan High School's academic performance is significantly below the state average, with only 30% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 12.9% in Mathematics, and 15.05% in Science, compared to the state averages of 54.99%, 31.25%, and 30.03% respectively. The school also has a very high rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 100%, suggesting it serves a predominantly low-income student population. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($10,729) and low student-teacher ratio (17.5 to 1), these investments do not appear to be translating into strong academic outcomes for students.

Overall, the data paints a picture of a struggling school that is underperforming compared to other high schools in Montana. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of these issues and develop strategies to improve Ronan High School's performance within the Ronan High School district.
