White Sulphur Springs High School

Summary:

White Sulphur Springs High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the town of White Sulphur Springs, Montana, with a student population of just 56 students. Despite its small size, this school has shown impressive academic growth in recent years, ranking 19th out of 124 high schools in the state and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's test scores in math, reading, and science have all improved, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school maintains a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.2 to 10.8 over the past three years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment for students. While the school's student population is predominantly white, with a small percentage of Hispanic and multiracial students, the lack of data on free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to fully understand the school's demographic and economic profile.

Compared to nearby schools, White Sulphur Spgs K-12 District, which White Sulphur Springs High School is a part of, is ranked 184 out of 300 districts in Montana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, without more detailed information about the academic performance and other key metrics of surrounding schools, it's challenging to draw meaningful comparisons to assess how White Sulphur Springs High School is performing relative to its peers.

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.
