Best Public Schools in Whitehall, MT

Summary:

The city of Whitehall, Montana is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Whitehall Elementary, Whitehall High School, and Whitehall 6-8. Based on the available data, Whitehall High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 20th out of 124 Montana high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, the Whitehall Elementary and Whitehall 6-8 schools have lower state-wide rankings and ratings, suggesting room for improvement in the quality of education at the elementary and middle school levels. The racial makeup of the schools is predominantly white, with relatively low representation of other racial groups, which could indicate a lack of diversity in the student population.

Interestingly, the spending per student is significantly higher at the Whitehall High School ($13,703) compared to the elementary and middle schools ($7,965), which could be due to factors such as more advanced curriculum, extracurricular activities, or specialized resources at the high school level. The student-teacher ratios also vary across the schools, with Whitehall Elementary having the lowest ratio and Whitehall High School having the highest, which could impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.
