Belgrade High School stands out for its racial diversity, with a student population that is 85.81% White, 8.95% Hispanic, 1.41% Native American, and 3.12% two or more races. This is more diverse than nearby schools like Manhattan High School, which has a student body that is 95.4% White. However, Belgrade High School's academic performance is mixed, with 59.13% of students proficient or better in Reading, which is higher than the state average, but lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science compared to state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 29th out of 119 high schools in 2018-2019 to 63rd out of 114 high schools in 2021-2022.

When compared to nearby high schools like Bozeman High School and Gallatin High School, Belgrade High School stands out for its diversity but lags behind in certain academic metrics. For example, Manhattan High School, just 9.11 miles away, has significantly higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and Science, as well as a higher statewide ranking. The variability in Belgrade High School's performance suggests that factors beyond just test scores, such as student demographics, teacher quality, and school resources, may be influencing the school's outcomes.

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.
