Summary:
Montague Elementary is the sole public school serving grades K-8 in the Montague Elementary District, which is ranked 611 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a total enrollment of 169 students, Montague Elementary faces some academic challenges, particularly in Science and the lower grade levels, but also demonstrates strengths in specific subject areas and grade levels.
Montague Elementary's performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments is generally below the state average, with some exceptions. The school stands out in 7th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and 6th/7th grade Mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly higher than the state average. However, the school struggles in Science (CAST), with only 15.38% of students proficient or better at the end-of-course level and 11.76% proficient or better in 5th grade. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Montague Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 65.09% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's overall academic performance challenges and should be considered when developing strategies for improvement. The school's high student-teacher ratio of 28.1 may also be a contributing factor to its academic struggles and should be addressed to ensure effective instruction.
