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.

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.
