Sheridan High School

Summary:

Sheridan High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in Sheridan, Montana, with a total enrollment of 58 students. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 47th out of 124 high schools in 2022-2023 and 119th out of 182 high schools in 2024-2025. Similarly, its SchoolDigger performance rating has ranged from 3 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 to 1 star out of 5 in 2023-2024, and back to 2 stars out of 5 in 2024-2025.

Academically, Sheridan High School has struggled, with proficiency rates in ACT with Writing/English Language Arts (50%), Mathematics (20%), and Science (20%) falling below the statewide averages of 54.99%, 31.25%, and 30.03%, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school appears to have a relatively high level of per-student spending ($18,084 in 2018-2019) and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 6.6, suggesting that resources may be allocated effectively, despite the academic challenges.

One notable characteristic of Sheridan High School is the relatively high percentage of students (37.93%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which indicates a significant socioeconomic need among the student population. This may require the school to focus on providing additional support and resources to address the unique challenges faced by these students.
