Conrad High School

Summary:

Conrad High School is a public high school serving 153 students in grades 9-12 in Conrad, Montana. The school has a predominantly white student body, with 90.85% of students identifying as white. Compared to the state average, Conrad High School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates above average in reading but below average in math and science.

One notable characteristic of Conrad High School is its lack of racial diversity, especially when compared to nearby Valier High School, which has a more diverse student population. This lack of diversity may limit students' exposure to different cultures and perspectives. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between Conrad High School ($20,420 in 2018-2019) and Valier High School ($20,420 in 2018-2019) may indicate potential funding disparities between the two districts, which could impact the resources and opportunities available to students.

Over the past several years, Conrad High School's academic performance, as measured by its statewide ranking, has declined, suggesting the school may need to address areas of academic weakness to improve student outcomes. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 students per teacher, the school may be able to provide more individualized attention to students, but it will need to focus on improving its math and science proficiency rates to 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.
