What stands out at Moore High School

Scale and staffing sit near the state mainstream

Moore High School is neither an extreme outlier in enrollment nor in student-teacher ratio among Montana schools. Its profile therefore turns on the other dimensions rather than on scale alone: economic need, counselor coverage, program access, attendance, and district finance. This middle placement is useful because it prevents the campus from being mislabeled as unusually large, small, crowded, or teacher-dense when the federal comparison does not support that claim.

No single support indicator dominates

Moore High School's available federal support indicators do not reveal an extreme in advanced-course access, specialist staffing, chronic absence, or IDEA enrollment. The most responsible reading is therefore component by component rather than a sweeping verdict: current counseling availability, health support, program schedules, and attendance policy still warrant direct confirmation. Missing or middle-range federal fields are not evidence that services are either strong or weak.

Moore High School is a mid-sized high school in Moore, Montana, enrolling 28 students.

Class sizes run a bit leaner than typical: 9.3:1 puts it in the smaller third of Montana schools by student-teacher ratio.
