Summary:
The city of Hardin, Montana is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this district face significant challenges, with consistently low statewide rankings and a high percentage of Native American students, suggesting potential issues with equity and inclusion.
Among the standout schools, Hardin Primary has the best student-teacher ratio at 11:1, while Hardin Intermediate has the highest per-student spending at $13,407. However, the Hardin Elementary district as a whole struggles, with all schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories in the statewide rankings.
The racial disparities in the district are noteworthy, with Native American students making up the majority of the student population, ranging from 68.09% at Hardin Primary to 75.25% at Hardin Middle School. This suggests a need for further investigation into the district's efforts to promote equity and inclusion. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary and secondary schools raises questions about the district's funding allocation priorities.
