Arlee High School

Summary:

Arlee High School is a public high school serving 145 students in grades 9-12 in Arlee, Montana, which is located within the Flathead Indian Reservation. The school consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency, ranking in the bottom quarter of Montana high schools. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a strength.

Compared to nearby schools like Charlo High School and Frenchtown High School, Arlee High School has a significantly higher percentage of Native American students, reflecting its location within the Flathead Indian Reservation. This diversity is not matched by its academic performance, as Arlee High School consistently lags behind the state averages in Mathematics, Reading, and Science proficiency rates.

The school's declining statewide ranking over the past decade, from 78 out of 129 high schools in 2011-2012 to 120 out of 138 high schools in 2020-2021, suggests that Arlee High School may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance. The school's high percentage of Native American students and potential socioeconomic factors may contribute to these challenges, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
