2024 High Schools with the Best Teachers in Montana

  Rating 3.95 out of 5  38 reviews

Senior: As Hamilton is a smaller town, the school is shockingly above the curve. It offers quite a lot of AP courses and dual enrollment classes. The staff and student body are really friendly and supportive, and provide a “homey” atmosphere where you can be yourself. The school itself is slightly understaffed but they are working on fixing that issue. As a senior, I can say that growing up and attending Hamilton High School was an enjoyable learning experience.... Read 38 reviews

Senior: Troy High School is a high achieving academic school. The teachers are generally excellent and prepare their students well for AP tests and college. There is a lack of school spirit, I think partially because of the rigorous course load. Overall it is a good school that will prepare you well for college.... Read 17 reviews

Senior: Overall, Red Lodge High School is an amazing place to go to school. It is a very safe and modern campus with a great student-faculty ratio. My teachers are like my friends, and I always feel comfortable going to my teachers with questions or concerns. The academics are some of the best in the state, and I can really challenge myself academically. I am able to take college-level courses through the local colleges, and the school also offers diverse AP courses for me to challenge myself. Overall, Red Lodge High School is an outstanding place to go to school, and I would absolutely recommend it to any student looking for a fun culture, academically challenging environment, and strong relationships with teachers....

  Rating 3.6 out of 5  10 reviews

Senior: Overall, my experience was spectacular. I've learned so much in such little time. The teachers never gave up on me no matter how stubborn I was. I learned lessons from respecting myself to a math equations that I will never use again, but I can say that I understand it. The one thing I would like to see changed about this high school is it's love for sports. If it were to focus just a little more on making sure the students are actually qualifying for sports, the students would be beyond intelligent. It is disappointing to know that a football player has three Ds and all Cs but remains a starter. The school needs to push students more to actually earn their place on the team, no just hand it over to them like cookies on a platter. But overall, the school is fantastic and I am honored to say that I went to school here.... Read 10 reviews

I have a wide variety of classes and extra-curricular activities available to me to participate. I have been able to experience FFA, MBI, and student planning groups. My school was recognized for outstanding leadership success by earning the Aim Higher MHSA award. Joliet High School was also recognized by US News Best High Schools and ranked 43rd in Montana. We have a great faculty and administration. The Joliet community is supportive of our schools' accomplishments and future goals.... Read 18 reviews

Middle School Student: I love all the teachers here because they are all so dedicated to their work. They have lots of hands-on learning experience. I love participating in all sports and clubs. They have amazing academic opportunities. They prepare you for everything in life from college readiness to child care. They teach culinary and food. The school prides itself on 3 things responsibility, respect, and safety. Coming to school every day is welcoming with a coffee shop and breakfast café. They pride themselves on everything they teach no matter what they teach. All of the teachers love and appreciate each other. I am proud to go to such an amazing school.... Read 103 reviews

  Rating 3.74 out of 5  341 reviews

Senior: The overall experience I've had at Senior High has been a good one. It's a school committed to keeping you, as a student, safe and comfortable. The best experience I've had while attending Senior has to go to supporting sports. It's a lot of fun surrounding yourself with a lot of people that you may or may not know and showing out for a common goal: to see your team win, and be really loud while doing it. The worst experience I've had involves the bathroom restrictions. Due to issues between passing periods and students abusing devices such as vapes our bathroom freedom's have had a lot of sanctions placed upon them. Something I'd like Senior to lean more towards is making its environment closer to college. Student privileges, such as bathroom freedom's, shouldn't be revoked due to a small minority of troublemakers. Instead, the students should be treated more like adults and held to the responsibilities of them.... Read 341 reviews

Senior: I absolutely love Lavina, it’s a small school where you can be friends with almost anyone. The teachers are always willing to help and want you to succeed so they are always ready to offer one on one help. The school is all grades combined so you can see kids from all grades growing up and learning over the years, and you can even participate in helping the younger grades learn with the teacher’s aid elective. I love the school and I recommend it to anyone that can stand living in a small town with few stores and restaurants.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: Brockton High is one of the largest high schools in the Unites states and is the largest high school in Massachusetts. It has many academic options and is one of the top rated schools in Massachusetts. We have an estimated graduating class of about 900 seniors. I believe part of the success is due to the great teaching staff that is available. Brockton High is a division one league for many of the sports such as football, volleyball, basketball and hockey. There is a club for just about everything you can think of along with a band, marching band, and a accapella group. Brockton High has famous graduates such as the great boxing legonds Marvin Hagler and Rocky Marcianno. I would recommend attending Brockton High to all students.... Read 1 review

Senior: Billings West High School has a very engaging and inspiring atmosphere and encourages its students to participate in extracurricular activities. The teachers care about their work and make sure that their students learn the content that is being taught to them. This school makes sure that their students are ready and prepared for the ACT exams in order for them to score their highest scores possible. Sports are also taken very seriously in this establishment and a lot of athletes are given the resources for them to succeed in their competitions. In Billings West High School, Art programs are also given a lot of priority for students to take part in.... Read 268 reviews

  Rating 3.53 out of 5  47 reviews

Senior: High school, a transformative phase in one's life, is a time of growth, self-discovery, and memorable moments. Chinook High is a good school that shaped me into who I am now. In association to our towns size the student is in the high school from grade 7 to grade 12 because of that our school is very close and you know everyone’s names. That is a positive and a negative. In this brief period I will talk about the ups and downs of our high school. The positives of going to Chinook High school are more face to face time with teachers, you’ve been with the same people through all of your schooling years, and you have more sports opportunities. The negatives of such a small school is that they are very sports oriented, there is little to no diversity around us, and we have no real life experiences unless our parents take us hours away to learn about new things. I would like for there to be more extracurriculars and for there to be real world opportunities for us to participate in.... Read 47 reviews

Sophomore: Skyview academics are at a high, challenging level, and they support all their students interested in pushing themselves into them. We also have over 20 AP classes and even more honor classes. The school is also very supportive and encouraging about athletics, and you will find a majority of these classes are made up of multiple sport athletes.

Alum: A few teachers at WHS approach their work with a certain level of personal agenda—and I don't mean political—that they take out on students. Often, a few teachers will engage in gossip with the students, which is 100% fine on its own—until they use it to form ultimately misguided opinions on students. I.e., a select few teachers have demonstrated unfair and unprofessional biases against high school students.... Read 108 reviews

I moved to Bozeman my freshman year and didn't know anyone, but felt very welcomed by my peers and have made lifelong friends.
