Summary:

The West Yellowstone K-12 district in Montana is home to a single high school, West Yellowstone High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its ranking and rating ranging from 73 out of 122 schools (2 stars) in 2023-2024 to 98 out of 124 schools (1 star) in 2022-2023. While the school's English Language Arts proficiency is close to the state average, its Mathematics proficiency lags behind at 20% compared to the state's 31.25%.

West Yellowstone High School has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.4, which is significantly lower than the state average. This suggests a high level of individual attention and support for students. However, the school also has a high percentage of students (35%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population that may present unique challenges and resource needs for the school.

Overall, West Yellowstone High School appears to be a small school with a mix of strengths and weaknesses. While the low student-to-teacher ratio is a positive, the school's fluctuating performance and lagging Mathematics proficiency are areas that may need attention. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch also suggests the need for targeted resources and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
