Top rankedCarter County High School99^th of 182 Montana high schools

Summary:

The 59324 zip code in Montana is home to a single high school, Carter County High School, which serves a small student population of just 36 students. While the school's small size may provide opportunities for personalized attention, it also presents challenges in terms of offering a diverse range of course options and extracurricular activities.

Carter County High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 69th out of 114 high schools in 2021-2022 to 99th out of 182 high schools in 2024-2025. This suggests a potential decline in the school's performance compared to other schools in Montana. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates on the ACT with Writing exam are lower than the state averages in all three subject areas (English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science), indicating that the school may need to focus on improving academic outcomes for its students.

Another notable aspect of Carter County High School is the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 83.33% in the 2024-2025 school year. This suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which could be a factor in the school's academic performance and may require additional resources and support to address the needs of these students.
