Melville School is part of the Melville Elementary District, which is ranked 104 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Melville School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years, though its statewide ranking has fluctuated, with a higher ranking in the 2020-2021 school year (59th out of 356) compared to the more recent years (118th out of 332 in 2022-2023). The school has a 100% white student population, which is not representative of the racial/ethnic diversity typically found in larger school districts. With only 32 students, Melville School is a small elementary school, which can present both challenges and opportunities in terms of resource allocation, personalized attention, and community engagement. The school's spending of $11,725 per student is relatively high, which could be due to the small enrollment and the need to maintain a certain level of staffing and infrastructure.

Overall, the analysis of Melville School provides insights into the performance and characteristics of a small, rural elementary school in Montana. While the school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating, its fluctuating ranking and homogeneous student population are noteworthy factors to consider. Further investigation into the school's specific programs, initiatives, and community engagement could provide a more comprehensive understanding of its strengths and areas for improvement.
