Lodge Grass High School

Summary:

Located in the small town of Lodge Grass, Montana, Lodge Grass High School serves around 172 students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Academically, Lodge Grass High School has significantly underperformed the state averages in standardized test scores for mathematics, reading, and science. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in mathematics and science, and only 7.14% proficiency in reading, compared to the state averages of 36.59%, 46.03%, and 37.03%, respectively. This academic underperformance has been a consistent trend for the school over the past several years. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has been relatively high, ranging from 13.5 to 16.9 students per teacher in recent years, which may present challenges in providing individualized attention and support to students.

While the specific free and reduced-price lunch rates for Lodge Grass High School are not provided, the school's location in a high-poverty area suggests that a significant portion of the student body likely comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The persistent low performance and 0-star ratings of the school over the past decade indicate that it has struggled to improve its academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the unique challenges faced by this school will require a comprehensive and collaborative approach involving the school district, community stakeholders, and targeted interventions and support.

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.
