Dutton/Brady High School

Summary:

Dutton/Brady High School is a small public high school in Dutton, Montana, serving grades 9-12 with just 28 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. However, this once highly-ranked school has experienced a significant decline in its performance, now ranking 102nd out of 124 high schools in the state with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is concerning, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in mathematics, reading, and science. Additionally, the school's racial diversity has decreased over the years, with the student population becoming less diverse. Compared to the nearby Power High School, Dutton/Brady High School has a higher student-teacher ratio, which may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.

These findings suggest that Dutton/Brady High School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The dramatic decline in the school's performance and the lack of racial diversity may indicate broader systemic issues within the Dutton/Brady K-12 Schools district. Further investigation into the school's practices, resources, and the district's management may be necessary to identify the root causes of these issues and develop strategies for improvement.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
