Summary:
The city of Manhattan, Montana is home to a small but high-performing school district, with 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district's standout schools include Manhattan High School, which is ranked 2nd out of 124 Montana high schools, and Amsterdam School, a top-ranked elementary school in the state.
The Manhattan school district demonstrates exceptional academic performance, with its schools consistently ranking among the best in Montana. Manhattan 5-8 Middle School also maintains a strong ranking in the top 25% of middle schools statewide. These schools benefit from relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 12.2 to 15.3, and per-student spending that varies from $7,848 to $9,778 across the district.
While the Manhattan schools excel academically, the district's student population is predominantly white, with over 90% of students identifying as such. This lack of diversity may be an area for the district to explore and address. Additionally, the funding allocation across the schools could be further examined to ensure equitable distribution of resources and support for all students in the Manhattan School district and the Manhattan High School and Amsterdam Elementary districts.
