Summary

Flathead Pace Academy is a small public high school in Kalispell, Montana, serving grades 10-12 with just 22 students. While it is part of the Flathead High School District, which is ranked 151 out of 387 school districts in the state, Flathead Pace Academy faces some unique challenges compared to its larger peers.

One key difference is the school's small size, with only 22 students compared to over 1,400 at nearby Glacier High School and Flathead High School. This small size may allow for more personalized attention, but it also comes with lower test scores, with only 40% of 11th-graders proficient in English and math, compared to over 60% at Flathead High. Additionally, Flathead Pace Academy has a higher rate of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting it serves a more economically disadvantaged population.

However, the school's small size is also a potential strength, with a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.9, much lower than the nearby high schools. This could enable more individualized instruction and support for students. While Flathead Pace Academy faces some challenges, its unique characteristics may also present opportunities to provide a tailored educational experience for its small student body.
