High Schools in Arlee High School

Arlee High School is the sole high school serving the Arlee, Montana area, providing education for grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant Native American enrollment of 45.52% as well as 24.14% White, 8.97% Hispanic, and 21.38% two or more races. However, Arlee High School consistently underperforms the state average in core academic subjects, with only 15.63% of students proficient in mathematics, 32.26% in reading, and 17.14% in science.

Despite spending $15,285 per student, which is higher than the national average, Arlee High School has ranked in the bottom quarter of Montana high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's challenges appear to be deeply rooted, as its low performance has persisted over the past few years. Factors such as the high percentage of low-income and Native American students may contribute to the academic struggles, suggesting that a comprehensive approach addressing both academic and socioeconomic needs may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

Overall, Arlee High School faces significant academic challenges that need to be addressed, despite the district's higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio. Addressing these issues will likely require a long-term, sustained effort to support the diverse student population and address the underlying factors contributing to the school's persistent underperformance.
