Funding

How Montana funds schools

Montana builds each district’s budget around Average Number Belonging (ANB), an enrollment count that drives the state-guaranteed BASE budget (the minimum general-fund level). State and county equalization payments plus local mills fund the BASE, with additional per-ANB and quality-educator components layered on; voters may approve spending above the BASE up to a maximum budget.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Whitehall H S School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Montana reports accountability through GEMS (the Growth and Enhancement of Montana Students data portal), which hosts the ESSA school and district report cards covering proficiency, growth, graduation and English-learner progress. Look up Whitehall H S School District on the GEMS portal.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Montana accredits public districts itself: the Board of Public Education holds schools to the Chapter 55 accreditation standards, administered by the Office of Public Instruction, rather than relying on a private accreditor. See the Montana OPI for a district’s accreditation status.
