The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My time attending Butte high was alright. The teachers were, for the most part, very good and passionate about teaching. There are 4 counselors for the entire school. I believe there needs to be more considering the size of the school. One of them needs to be replaced too as he gives all of the girls in the school a creepy feeling. However, despite these feelings, there have been no incidents.

Great place for those looking to get into any of the colleges in Montana, especially MTech. However, if you are into the arts, this school doesn't have a great program for creatives. Just like any school, classes are a hit or miss. What I've noticed is that this school is heavy on "do your own research" type of learning. The staff is amazing, the teachers are honest but supportive.

I would like to see a stronger focus on academics. Both in initiative, reward, funding, and class selection.

The school is, overall, not a good place to learn unless you are on the football team so the teachers will give you passing grades. The school does not care a...

This school is well represented with students involved in sports, cheerleading, student council, music programs, and academics. I think this sch...

After completing one career and working in my own business I have to say my high school experience was one of the best.
