Summary:
The St Regis K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of three schools: St Regis School (elementary), St Regis High School, and St Regis 7-8 (middle school). The district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having 100% of their students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, St Regis 7-8 Middle School has had a varied performance history, ranking as high as 16th out of 159 Montana middle schools in 2012-2013 but then dropping to 95th out of 156 in 2014-2015. However, it has since rebounded to a ranking of 111th out of 222 middle schools in the most recent 2024-2025 school year, with a strong English Language Arts proficiency rate of 58.06%. In contrast, St Regis High School has experienced a significant decline, dropping from a ranking of 15th out of 119 Montana high schools in 2018-2019 to 132nd out of 182 in the most recent 2024-2025 school year.
Despite the district's relatively high spending per student of $15,711, which is higher than the state average, the overall academic performance across the three schools remains below state averages, with the exception of the middle school's strong performance in English Language Arts. This suggests that the funding may not be translating into improved student outcomes, and further analysis would be needed to understand how the district is utilizing its resources.
