Summary

Rosebud High School is a small public high school in Rosebud, MT, serving grades 9-12 with just 15 students. Despite spending significantly more per student than the state average, the school's academic performance is well below par, with proficiency rates in English, Math, and Science far behind the state averages. Compared to the nearby Forsyth High School, Rosebud High School has consistently lower test scores and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating higher levels of economic disadvantage.

Rosebud High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 112 out of 129 high schools in 2011-2012 to 166 out of 182 high schools in 2024-2025. This suggests that the school's performance has been consistently below average and may be worsening over time. Despite having a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 3:1 to 4.8:1 in recent years, the school has not been able to translate this resource into improved academic outcomes for its students.

The small student population, high poverty rates, and consistently low academic performance at Rosebud High School suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The Rosebud K-12 District, which Rosebud High School is a part of, is ranked 303 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, further indicating the need for improvement in the district's educational offerings.
