Summary:
The city of Laurel, Montana is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population and show a range of academic performance, with some standout schools like West School and Laurel High School demonstrating consistent high rankings and improvement over time.
West School, an elementary school, stands out for its consistently high rankings among Montana elementary schools in the mid-2000s, as well as its low student-teacher ratio of 12.9, the lowest among the 3 Laurel Elementary schools. Meanwhile, Laurel High School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 79th out of 138 Montana high schools in 2020-2021 to 64th out of 124 in 2022-2023, and maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years.
The data also reveals variations in student-teacher ratios across the elementary schools, with Fred W Graff School having the highest ratio at 17.4, compared to 12.9 at West School. However, the lack of specific free and reduced lunch rate data for the schools limits the ability to fully understand the socioeconomic makeup of the student populations and how that may impact academic performance.
