Wolf Point High School

Summary:

Wolf Point High School is a public high school in Wolf Point, Montana, serving 225 students in grades 9-12, with a predominantly Native American student population of 66.67%. Despite adequate funding and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom quarter of Montana high schools with a 0-star rating.

Academically, Wolf Point High School lags far behind state averages, with only 5.13% of students proficient or better in Mathematics, 23.68% in Reading, and 8% in Science, compared to state averages of 36.59%, 46.03%, and 37.03%, respectively. This low performance is particularly concerning given the school's high percentage of Native American students, which is significantly higher than the state's overall Native American student population. Interestingly, the nearby Frazer High School, which has an even more homogeneous Native American student population at 100%, also struggles with consistently low academic outcomes.

The factors contributing to Wolf Point High School's challenges may include socioeconomic status, access to resources, and cultural differences, all of which can impact educational outcomes. While the school's funding and student-teacher ratio suggest that resources are not the primary issue, addressing these underlying factors and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve its performance and better serve its student population.

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.
