Summary:
Lame Deer High School is the sole high school serving the Lame Deer, Montana area, providing education to 169 students in grades 9-12. The school faces significant challenges, with persistently low academic performance and a student population that is predominantly Native American, often associated with higher rates of poverty and other socioeconomic factors.
Lame Deer High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Montana high schools over the past 3 years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Academic proficiency rates are alarmingly low, with only 6.45% of students proficient or better in reading, 2.78% in science, and 0% in mathematics. Despite high per-student spending of $18,824, which is significantly above the state average, the school has failed to improve student learning outcomes.
The school's demographic challenges, with 91.12% of students identifying as Native American, may contribute to the academic struggles and highlight the need for targeted resources and support to address the unique needs of this student population. While the high per-student spending suggests a commitment to funding, the lack of progress over time suggests a need for a comprehensive, long-term strategy to effectively allocate resources and implement interventions to support student success at Lame Deer High School.
