Charlo High School

Charlo High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the rural town of Charlo, Montana. With a total enrollment of 83 students, the school stands out for its diverse student population, which includes a significant percentage of Native American (15.66%) and multi-racial (10.84%) students. Despite its small size, Charlo High School has maintained a consistent performance, ranking in the top half of Montana high schools over the past three years.

The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.2 suggests a relatively small class size, which could contribute to the school's ability to serve its diverse student body. Charlo High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated slightly, going from 42nd out of 138 schools in 2020-2021 to 58th out of 114 schools in 2021-2022, and then back up to 43rd out of 124 schools in 2022-2023. This variation in ranking may be influenced by factors such as changes in student performance, staffing, or school policies, and further analysis could provide valuable insights.

Unfortunately, the data set is missing information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, which would be helpful in understanding the socioeconomic status of the student population. Overall, Charlo High School appears to be a small, rural school that is successfully serving a diverse student population, though further investigation into the reasons behind its ranking fluctuations and the socioeconomic status of its students could yield additional insights.
