Top rankedStanford High School144^th of 182 Montana high schools

Summary:

The 59479 zip code is home to a single high school, Stanford High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 42 students. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, it currently ranks 144 out of 182 Montana high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Stanford High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with students performing well below the state average on ACT proficiency tests. In 2024-2025, only 28.57% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Science, and 0% were proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 45.24% in 2024-2025, indicating that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.

Despite the low academic performance, Stanford High School appears to be investing a significant amount of resources per student, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4. However, this investment has not yet translated into improved student outcomes. The school's leadership may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and focus on more effective strategies for improving academic achievement and supporting its students.
