Reed Point H S, MT - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Reed Point H S

Reed Point H S is a high-school-only district in rural Stillwater County, Montana, operating a single school, Reed Point High School, for grades nine through twelve. With an enrollment that numbers in the low double digits, this is among the smallest secondary districts in the state. The student body is predominantly white, with a small share of Asian and multiracial students; data on students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals and on special education or English learner status was not reported.

State assessment results for math and English language arts were suppressed, which typically occurs when the tested group is too small to report publicly without compromising student privacy. Because the district serves only high school and the reported assessment data is for grades three through eight, it is unclear whether high school state tests were administered or reported separately. A four-year graduation rate was not available in the data we reviewed. Parents who want to evaluate academic performance will need to seek that information directly from the school.

The data that is available paints a picture of a stable, low-attrition environment. The chronic absenteeism rate stands out as very low among Stillwater County’s districts, a sign that students are consistently in class. Per-pupil current spending places the district in the upper range of county peers, which is common for a very small system where the fixed costs of operating a school are spread across a tiny enrollment.

Housing in the area served by the district reflects a mix of small towns. Home values weighted across the district—drawing from the ZIP codes of Reed Point, Absarokee, and Columbus—are above both the state and national medians and have seen notable year-over-year growth. The largest share of the district’s housing stock lies in Reed Point itself, where values are strongest. Affordability, measured against national household income, is stretched, though typical for rural Montana.

We looked for district-level changes such as recent levies, bond measures, curriculum shifts, or property tax adjustments and found little of lasting impact in public sources. The district appears to function without major recent upheaval, and no programs or course access data were reported. Families should not assume the existence of advanced placement, dual credit, or career-technical offerings without verifying with the school.

This district fits a family seeking an extremely small, rural high school setting where students are likely to be well-known to staff and peers. The low absenteeism and high per-pupil spending suggest a focused environment, but the absence of publicly reported academic outcomes and program details means that a direct conversation with the school is essential to understand the full academic pathway, extracurricular life, and postsecondary support available.
