Summary

The MT School For Deaf & Blnd High School is a small public high school in Great Falls, Montana, serving just 15 students in grades 9-12. As part of the Mont School for Deaf Blind District, which is ranked 354 out of 387 districts in the state, the school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and resource allocation.

The school's academic performance is consistently well below the state average, with 0% of students proficient or better in ACT English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, compared to the state averages of 54.99%, 31.25%, and 30.03%, respectively. However, the school has an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 1.1 to 1.4 students per teacher, significantly lower than the nearby Belt High School, Centerville High School, C M Russell High School, and Great Falls High School, which have ratios ranging from 9.9 to 16.3 students per teacher.

Additionally, the school has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating that all of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which is much higher than the nearby schools, which have rates ranging from 32.61% to 54.52%. While the school's specialized focus on serving deaf and blind students may present unique educational and resource requirements, the lack of nearby comparable schools makes it challenging to identify best practices and collaborate on improving student outcomes. The school's low ranking and the district's overall low rating may also indicate challenges in securing adequate funding and resources to support the specialized needs of its student population.
