Summary

Absarokee High School is a public high school in Absarokee, Montana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 74 students. The school is part of the Absarokee High School District, which is ranked 264 out of 387 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Absarokee High School has had a mixed academic performance history, with its statewide ranking ranging from 56th out of 138 schools in 2020-2021 to 118th out of 119 schools in 2017-2018. Its current ranking for the 2024-2025 school year is 113th out of 182 Montana high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages, with proficiency rates of 47.83% in English Language Arts, 13.04% in Mathematics, and 30.43% in Science, compared to the state averages of 54.99%, 31.25%, and 30.03%, respectively. However, Absarokee High School performs better than the smaller nearby schools, such as Roberts High School and Reed Point High School, in terms of academic rankings and test scores.

One interesting finding is that Absarokee High School's statewide ranking has been on a downward trend, dropping from 56th out of 138 schools in 2020-2021 to 113th out of 182 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 25.32% in 2023-2024 to 39.19% in 2024-2025. This may indicate that the school is serving a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could impact academic outcomes. However, Absarokee High School's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.8 to 12.2, suggests that the school may have a relatively small class size and potentially more individualized attention for students.
