Best Public Schools in Lodge Grass, MT

Summary:

The city of Lodge Grass, Montana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Lodge Grass School (an elementary school), Lodge Grass High School, and Lodge Grass 7-8 (a middle school). Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in this community, with all three schools consistently ranking near the bottom of their respective school types in the state.

The racial demographics of the schools are strikingly homogeneous, with Native American students making up between 96.47% and 98.94% of the student populations. This highlights the need for culturally-responsive and inclusive educational practices to support the unique needs of this student population. Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,928 to $18,059, the schools have struggled to translate this funding into improved academic outcomes, as evidenced by their 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger and low state-wide rankings.

The student-teacher ratios also vary across the schools, with the middle school having the highest ratio at 17.5 students per teacher. This could be a contributing factor to the low performance of the schools, as smaller class sizes are often associated with better educational outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that the educational system in Lodge Grass is in need of a comprehensive review and improvement to better serve the students and community.
