Charlo High School

Summary:

Charlo High School is a small public high school in Charlo, Montana, serving 83 students in grades 9-12. The school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with a majority of White students and a significant Native American population, in contrast to the more diverse nearby schools like Arlee High School and Ronan High School.

Academically, Charlo High School has shown mixed performance, outperforming the state average in reading proficiency but underperforming in mathematics and science. The school's academic ranking has fluctuated over the years, from as high as 9th out of 122 Montana high schools to as low as 99th out of 119. However, Charlo High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools like Polson High School and Ronan High School, which may contribute to a more personalized learning environment.

The data suggests that Charlo High School faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement and addressing potential disparities in STEM education. Further analysis of the school's socioeconomic factors and targeted interventions could help the school, which is part of the Charlo High School District, improve its overall performance and better serve its students.

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.
