Top rankedLaurel High School123^rd of 182 Montana high schools

Summary:

The 59044 zip code is home to a single high school, Laurel High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has faced declining performance in recent years, dropping from a 3-star to a 2-star rating, it continues to serve the local community.

Laurel High School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 64th out of 124 Montana high schools in 2022-2023 to 123rd out of 182 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science lag behind the state averages. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its curriculum, teaching methods, or support systems to help students achieve higher levels of academic success.

One factor that may be contributing to the school's performance challenges is the relatively high percentage of students (34.95%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is a proxy for socioeconomic status. This indicates that the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges, which could require targeted interventions or additional resources to support student learning.
