Original Research by School Decision on Frazer High School
Frazer High School sits in a small, unincorporated community on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeastern Montana, serving students from ninth through twelfth grade. The school is part of the Frazer H S district, a very small rural system with a minimal public footprint. As a high school only, it does not serve younger grades, so the state testing results that appear in the data reflect that context.
The student body is small, entirely Native American, with every student reported as American Indian or Alaska Native. The school reports that all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. This is a community where the median household income is low and the poverty rate is high, and the school is the primary civic institution in town alongside a post office and the annual Red Bottom Celebration powwow. Frazer itself is experiencing population decline, which is a broader trend that families considering the school may want to factor into their thinking about the stability of the community.
On state assessments, the data shows that no students in grades three through eight at this school met the proficiency threshold in math, English language arts, or science during the most recent testing year. Because Frazer High School serves only high school grades, those results come from the grade band the state tests for elementary and middle school, and the number of students tested was zero. A parent should note that this means the state testing data does not directly cover the high school students themselves; the school has no reported proficiency rate for its own grade span under the state's current testing program, so there is no standardized academic performance measure available for the high school level from that source.
When compared to other districts in Valley County on an overall proficiency index across tested subjects and grades, Frazer High School falls in the bottom quartile. However, this comparison uses the same testing data that applies to younger students and does not capture the school's high school outcomes. No graduation rate was available in the data, and no chronic absenteeism rate was reported either. The school's profile does not include details on advanced coursework, career and technical education pathways, or dual-credit programs, so a family interested in those offerings would need to contact the school directly to learn what is available.
The setting is rural and isolated. The town is along U.S. Highway 2 between Glasgow and Wolf Point, with no Amtrak stop in Frazer itself. The nearest station is a short drive east. The school is located within the community rather than on a separate campus, and given the town's small size, the school functions as a gathering point. There is no distinct downtown district, and walkability is minimal. The economy revolves around grain shipping and agriculture, and the school district is likely one of the larger employers in town.
For a family considering Frazer High School, the picture is one of a very small, culturally specific setting on a reservation, with all students from the local Native American community. The school has no publicly available academic performance data at the high school level, no graduation rate, and no program offerings listed. A parent would need to investigate directly with the school to understand the academic pathways, student support, and postsecondary preparation that are in place. The community is declining in population, and the economic base is narrow. This school fits a family that values a close-knit, rural, reservation-based environment and is willing to engage directly with the school to fill in the many gaps left by the available data.
