Roberts High School

Summary:

Roberts High School is a small public high school in Roberts, MT, serving 43 students in grades 9-12. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, it currently holds a 1 out of 5 star rating, indicating significant academic challenges.

One key differentiator for Roberts High School is its racial diversity, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students compared to the surrounding schools. However, this diversity is coupled with lower academic performance, as measured by state test scores. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 9.09% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics and Science, significantly lower than the state averages of 36.59% and 37.03%, respectively. The school's Reading proficiency rate of 36.36% was also lower than the state average of 46.03%. Interestingly, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.0 to 9.2 over the past three school years, which is significantly lower than the surrounding schools.

While Roberts High School faces significant academic challenges, nearby schools like Columbus High School and Red Lodge High School perform significantly better on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. This suggests that the issues faced by Roberts High School may not be shared by all schools in the region, and further investigation into the underlying causes would be necessary to develop 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.
