Summary

Stanford High School is a public high school located in Stanford, MT, serving grades 9-12 with a small student population of 42 students. The school is part of the Stanford K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 325 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanford High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking ranging from 4th to 144th out of Montana high schools and its SchoolDigger rating fluctuating between 5 stars and 1 star. While the school's proficiency rates on the Montana State Tests were higher than the state averages in Reading and Science, they were lower in Mathematics. Additionally, the school's ACT with Writing proficiency rates for 11th-grade students were significantly lower than the state averages in all three subjects. However, Stanford High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spends more per student than the nearby Hobson High School.

When compared to other nearby schools, such as Geyser High School and Denton High School, Stanford High School appears to be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's efficient resource allocation and personalized learning environment may be strengths that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.
