One teacher swore around students and the principal did nothing. Completely unacceptable! There was hardly any homework assigned, which might explain the poor testing scores this school received.

GLACIER HIGH SCHOOL ROCKS! It has one of the best theater programs in the world and some of the coolest teachers.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Montana used the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to assess students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in reading and math and in grades 4, 8, and 10 in science. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Montana. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
