Chinook High School

Chinook High School is the sole public high school serving grades 9-12 in the small town of Chinook, Montana. With a total enrollment of 114 students, the school has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, ranking as low as 114 out of 138 Montana high schools in 2020-2021 but improving to 61 out of 114 schools the following year. However, the school's current 1-star rating and 97th place ranking out of 124 schools for the 2022-2023 school year suggest ongoing challenges.

Chinook High School's student population is predominantly white (82.46%), with smaller percentages of Native American (6.14%) and multiracial (10.53%) students. The school's student-to-teacher ratio of 11.8 is lower than the national average, potentially indicating a more personalized learning environment. However, the lack of data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to assess the school's socioeconomic factors and how they may be impacting student performance.

While Chinook High School has shown some signs of improvement in recent years, its overall performance and ranking suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges. To better understand the school's strengths and areas for improvement, additional data on student academic achievement, graduation rates, and college enrollment would be needed. Ultimately, parents and community members in the Chinook High School district should closely monitor the school's progress and advocate for the resources and support needed to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
