Summary

Manhattan High School is a public high school serving 241 students in grades 9-12 in the small town of Manhattan, Montana. This relatively small school has consistently ranked among the top high schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 9th out of 182 high schools statewide.

Manhattan High School's academic performance is truly impressive. Students consistently outperform the state averages on standardized tests, with 66.67% of 11th-graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.99%. In mathematics, an impressive 60% of 11th-graders were proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average of 31.25%. The school's science performance is also noteworthy, with 44.44% of 11th-graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 30.03%. This consistent academic excellence is likely due to the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 13.1 in recent years, and its relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a supportive learning environment and a student population with access to resources.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Bozeman High School and Gallatin High School, Manhattan High School stands out with its higher academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science. While Bozeman High School, the highest-ranked school in the area, has slightly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, the difference is not significant. Additionally, Willow Creek High School, despite its small size, also demonstrates impressive academic performance, with 100% proficiency in English Language Arts and Science for the 2024-2025 school year.
