Summary

Lincoln County High School is a public high school in Eureka, MT, serving 273 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lincoln County High School District, which is ranked 134 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has shown some strengths, such as outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Science on the ACT with Writing, it has struggled in Mathematics, with only 23.73% of students scoring proficient or better compared to the state average of 31.25%. Additionally, Lincoln County High School has a very high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's investment of $9,347 per student, which is higher than the state average, and its decreasing student-teacher ratio, from 15 to 13.2 students per teacher, may provide opportunities for improvement and better support for the students.

While there are no other high schools within 20 miles of Lincoln County High School, the school's performance has fluctuated significantly over the past decade, ranging from a high ranking of 36th out of 114 schools in 2021-2022 to a low of 96th out of 119 schools in 2018-2019. This volatility suggests the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond just academic achievement, and the school may benefit from targeted interventions and support, particularly in the area of Mathematics.

Open Quote I went here for high school. The teachers are under par, they only encourage sports achievement and not thinking in any capacity, their honors programs are a joke, and the school board has no regard for the students and their well being unless they're star athletes. Close Quote
