Summary:
The city of Ramsay, Montana is home to two schools - Ramsay School, an elementary school, and Ramsay Middle School. While both schools have a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students being white, the middle school stands out with a higher state-wide ranking compared to the elementary school.
Ramsay Middle School has seen fluctuations in its performance, ranking as high as 18 out of 156 middle schools in 2014-2015, but dropping to 132 out of 190 in 2021-2022 before improving to 84 out of 187 in the latest year. In contrast, Ramsay Elementary School has maintained a lower ranking, at 221 out of 332 Montana elementary schools. The significant difference in student enrollment between the two schools, with 123 students at the elementary level and only 43 at the middle school, suggests that the middle school may be struggling to retain students as they transition from the elementary level.
Both schools have a spending per student of $9,810 for the 2018-2019 school year, but the student-teacher ratio varies, with Ramsay Elementary having a higher ratio of 17.5 students per teacher compared to Ramsay Middle School's ratio of 10.3 students per teacher. This may indicate a greater need for individualized attention and support at the younger grade levels. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the schools in Ramsay, with the middle school showing signs of stronger performance but also potential challenges in retaining students.
