The schools' statewide rankings reflect this underperformance, with Culbertson School ranked 225 out of 332 Montana elementary schools and Culbertson High School ranked 113 out of 124 Montana high schools.
The data also reveals a concerning trend of declining performance, with Culbertson Junior High and Culbertson High School dropping in their statewide rankings over the past few years.

Without consistent data on factors like free/reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic barriers these schools and their communities may be facing.
