Summary

Superior High School is a public high school located in Superior, Montana, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 96 students. The school is part of the Superior K-12 Schools district, which is ranked 224 out of 387 districts in Montana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Superior High School has consistently underperformed the state average in proficiency rates for the ACT and Montana State Tests across all subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 44.83% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to the state average of 54.99%. Additionally, the school has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. This is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Plains High School, which also has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate.

While Superior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.6 to 9.7 over the past few years, it still underperforms the nearby Plains High School and St. Regis High School on academic measures. This suggests that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's struggles. The high rate of economic disadvantage among the student population may be a significant contributing factor to the school's underperformance, and addressing this challenge could be a key focus for school improvement efforts.
