Anaconda Senior High School

Summary:

Anaconda Senior High School is a public high school in Anaconda, Montana, serving 281 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Anaconda High School District, which is ranked 267 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Anaconda Senior High School is struggling, with significantly lower test scores than the state average. In the 2022-2023 school year, only 8.06% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 36.59%. In Reading, 23.73% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 46.03%. The school's performance in Science also lags behind, with only 10.77% of students being proficient or better, compared to the state average of 37.03%. Despite spending $11,625 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic outcomes have been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 50 out of 119 Montana high schools in 2018-2019 to 111 out of 124 in 2022-2023.

The school's student-teacher ratio has been decreasing, from 14.5 in 2020-2021 to 12.2 in 2022-2023, suggesting a focus on providing more individualized attention. However, the school's lack of racial diversity, with 93.24% of students identifying as white, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges. The school does not provide data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, but the low academic performance may be indicative of broader socioeconomic challenges faced by the community.

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.
