Summary:
The Montrose Community Schools district has only one elementary school, Carter Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in the Montrose area, Carter Elementary has a student population of 403, with a predominantly White (87.59%) demographic and a significant percentage (67%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population facing economic challenges.
Academically, Carter Elementary has performed better than the state average in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency for 3rd graders over the past two school years. However, the school faces a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.6%, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively high spending per student ($14,673) and low student-teacher ratio (13.7) suggest it has access to adequate resources to support student learning.
With only one elementary school in the Montrose Community Schools district, it is difficult to make meaningful comparisons within the district. Further analysis comparing Carter Elementary to other schools in the region or state with similar demographics and socioeconomic factors could provide additional insights into the school's performance and areas for improvement.
