Park High School

Summary:

Park High School is a public high school located in Livingston, MT, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 418 students. The school is part of the Park High School District, which is ranked 213 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park High School has a predominantly white student population, with 89.47% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the state average and the nearby Shields Valley High School, which has a more diverse student body. The school's academic performance has seen fluctuations, with its statewide ranking ranging from 10th out of 128 schools in 2012-2013 to 86th out of 124 schools in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. Its proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science often lag behind the state averages. Additionally, Park High School's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,175, which is lower than the $15,806 spent per student at Shields Valley High School.

While Park High School has historically performed well, its declining academic performance and lack of diversity suggest areas for potential improvement. The school's predominantly white student population and lower spending per student compared to the nearby Shields Valley High School may contribute to these challenges. By addressing these key metrics and exploring strategies to enhance student outcomes and create a more inclusive learning environment, Park High School can work towards providing a stronger educational experience for its students.

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.
