Reed Point High School

Reed Point High School is a small public high school in Reed Point, Montana, serving just 11 students in grades 9-12. Despite its tiny size, the school stands out for its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2.6 to 4.6 students per teacher over the past few years - significantly lower than nearby Columbus High School (15.7 students per teacher) and Absarokee High School (8.8 students per teacher).

Reed Point High School's test scores tell a mixed story. While the school outperforms the state average in Mathematics, with 50% of students proficient or better compared to 31.25% statewide, it lags behind in English Language Arts (50% vs. 54.99%) and Science (25% vs. 30.03%). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 27.27% to 43.75% over the past few years - higher than Columbus High School (20.26%) but lower than Absarokee High School (39.19%).

Despite its small size, Reed Point High School spends significantly more per student ($28,856 in 2018-2019) compared to Absarokee High School ($16,634 in 2018-2019), which may be a result of the need to maintain a low student-teacher ratio. However, the school's statewide ranking has generally declined over the years, from 55th out of 135 high schools in 2009-2010 to 58th out of 182 high schools in 2024-2025, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state.
