Summary:
The St Ignatius K-12 Schools district in Montana is home to a single high school, St Ignatius High School, which serves a diverse student population with a majority of Native American students. While the school has a relatively small enrollment of 141 students, its academic performance is below the state averages in mathematics, reading, and science proficiency.
St Ignatius High School's ranking has declined over the past three years, from 83rd out of 114 Montana high schools in 2021-2022 to 69th out of 124 schools in the current 2022-2023 school year. This downward trend is concerning and suggests the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resource allocation to better support student success. Despite the high spending of $11,492 per student, the school's academic performance remains below the state average, indicating that the resources may not be effectively utilized.
The school's diverse student population, with 60.99% of students identifying as Native American, is a unique aspect that could be leveraged as an asset. However, the school should ensure that it is providing the necessary support and resources to meet the academic and social-emotional needs of all its students, regardless of their racial or ethnic background. By addressing the factors contributing to the school's declining ranking and academic performance gaps, St Ignatius K-12 Schools can work to improve the educational outcomes for the students in their community.
