Absarokee High School

Absarokee High School serves 79 students in grades 9–12 as a regular public school in Absarokee, Montana. With a student-teacher ratio of 13.2:1, students here have consistent, direct access to their teachers — a structural advantage that scales with a small enrollment rather than working against it. The performance data is hard to ignore.

Absarokee High earns a composite score of 9.1/10 — rated Exceptional — with an academic score of 9.9 and a perfect 10.0 in growth. That growth mark signals the school isn't simply serving students who arrive well-prepared; it is actively accelerating them. The school ranks #2 of 141 high schools in Montana and outperforms 98% of all public schools statewide, positioning it among a very thin tier of top performers across 603 Montana schools.

For families comparing high school options, the case is concrete. A small student body hasn't meant smaller outcomes here. The combination of a 10.0 growth score and a tight 13.2:1 ratio suggests a school where students receive real attention — and where those gains show up in the rankings.

With an enrollment of 79 students, Absarokee High School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Absarokee High School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
