Summary:
Laurel High School is the sole high school serving the Laurel, Montana area. With 619 students, the school has a predominantly White student body (91.6%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (2.91%), Native American (2.26%), and students of two or more races (2.42%). Academically, Laurel High School performs above the state average in reading proficiency (52.6% vs. 46.03%) but below average in math (28.66% vs. 36.59%) and science (25.16% vs. 37.03%).
The school's ranking has declined over the past three years, from 74th out of 114 Montana high schools in 2021-2022 to 64th out of 124 in the current 2022-2023 school year. While the school's spending per student ($9,303) and student-teacher ratio (15.4) are within typical ranges, the lack of free/reduced lunch data makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population.
Overall, Laurel High School demonstrates a mixed academic performance, with strengths in reading but weaknesses in math and science. The school's declining ranking over the past few years suggests potential areas for improvement, though more context and comparisons to other schools in the region would be needed to fully understand the school's strengths and challenges.
