Bozeman High School

Summary:

Bozeman High School is a public high school serving 1,280 students in grades 9-12 in Bozeman, Montana, part of the Bozeman High School District, which is ranked 21 out of 300 districts in the state and rated 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Bozeman High School consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for Montana state tests in Mathematics, Reading, and Science, with 2022-2023 proficiency rates of 53.15% in Mathematics, 78.52% in Reading, and 51.11% in Science, compared to state averages of 36.59%, 46.03%, and 37.03%, respectively. However, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 86% of students identifying as White, lower than the nearby Gallatin High School and Belgrade High School. Bozeman High School also has a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.7 students per teacher compared to Manhattan High School.

Bozeman High School's consistent high performance, ranking among the top high schools in Montana, suggests a robust educational program and effective teaching practices. However, the school's lack of racial diversity may be an area for consideration and potential improvement. By understanding these key metrics and comparing Bozeman High School to its neighbors, school administrators and policymakers can identify areas for continued growth and development to ensure all students have access to a quality education.

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.
