Alberton K-12 Schools

The Alberton K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The data reveals that Alberton High School is a standout, having significantly improved its statewide ranking from 116th out of 128 high schools in 2012-2013 to 40th out of 138 in 2020-2021, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Alberton Elementary School has a lower ranking of 273rd out of 332 Montana elementary schools, though it has shown some improvement in recent years.

Across the district, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 84.62% to 88.66%, with minimal representation of other racial groups. The schools have consistent spending per student of $15,190 for the 2018-2019 school year, but the data does not provide the specific free and reduced lunch rates for the 2022-2023 school year. The student-teacher ratios vary, with Alberton High School having the lowest ratio of 6.9, followed by Alberton 7-8 at 9.9 and Alberton Elementary School at 10.4.

The analysis suggests that the improvement at Alberton High School is a positive development, but the district as a whole faces challenges in terms of racial diversity and the relationship between funding and educational outcomes. The missing data on free and reduced lunch rates also limits the insights that can be drawn about the socioeconomic status of the student population and its potential impact on educational performance.
