St Ignatius K-12 Schools

The St Ignatius K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of three schools: St Ignatius Elementary School, St Ignatius High School, and St Ignatius Middle School. These schools serve a significant Native American student population, ranging from 47.6% at the elementary school to 60.99% at the high school.

St Ignatius High School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the district, ranking 69th out of 124 Montana high schools for the 2022-2023 school year, an improvement from previous years. All three schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10.5 at the high school to 11.4 at the middle school, and consistent spending per student of $11,492 for the 2018-2019 school year.

While the data suggests some positive indicators, such as the high school's improving ranking and the low student-teacher ratios, the significant Native American student population across the district highlights the need for culturally responsive curriculum, teaching methods, and support services to ensure the unique needs of this student population are being met. Further analysis of academic performance, student engagement, and community involvement would provide valuable insights into the overall strengths and challenges of the St Ignatius K-12 Schools district.
