Summary:
The Lavina school district in Montana consists of three small schools serving students from elementary through high school. With student populations ranging from just 18 to 38 students, the district as a whole is ranked 253 out of 300 in the state and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While Lavina Elementary and Lavina Middle School maintain 2-star and 0-star ratings respectively, Lavina High School has seen a concerning decline, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2011-2012 to just 1 star in 2006-2007.
The racial makeup of the schools varies, with Lavina Elementary having a higher percentage of Hispanic students (10.53%) compared to the middle and high schools. However, the district as a whole lacks diversity, with the majority of students being white. Additionally, the data does not provide information on the free and reduced lunch rates, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations and its potential impact on educational outcomes.
Despite consistent spending of $17,042 per student across all three schools in the Lavina K-12 Schools district, the small school sizes and declining performance at the high school level suggest that the district may be facing significant challenges in providing a well-rounded educational experience for its students. Further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these challenges would be necessary to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
