Best Public Schools in Elliston, MT

Summary:

The city of Elliston, Montana is home to a single elementary school, the Elliston School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of just 19 students. As the only school in the Elliston Elementary District, the Elliston School has a very small student population and a homogeneous racial makeup, with 100% of its students identifying as white.

The school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 151 out of 329 elementary schools in 2021-2022 (3-star rating) to 250 out of 356 in 2020-2021 (2-star rating).

Despite its small size, the school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, suggesting a high level of individual attention for students.

While the Elliston School's small size and low student-teacher ratio may offer certain advantages, the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the student population and the fluctuating academic performance are areas that warrant further investigation. Understanding the factors behind the school's performance and the socioeconomic status of the community it serves could provide valuable insights to help improve the educational experience for students in Elliston.
