Summary:
The city of Ulm, Montana is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through middle school grades: Ulm School, Fairhaven Colony, and Ulm Junior High. These schools exhibit varying levels of performance, with Ulm Junior High standing out as a top-ranked middle school in the state, while Fairhaven Colony has consistently struggled to maintain a strong ranking.
Ulm Junior High is the standout performer, ranked 26th out of 187 Montana middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This exceptional performance is likely due to the school's low student-teacher ratio of 5, which suggests a high level of individual attention for students. In contrast, Ulm School, while not as highly ranked as its junior high counterpart, has maintained a 3-star rating and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1, indicating a focus on providing a quality education.
The racial makeup of the schools in Ulm varies, with Fairhaven Colony having the most homogeneous student population at 97.22% white, while Ulm Junior High has a more diverse student body with 13.33% Hispanic students. This diversity, or lack thereof, may be an important factor in understanding the schools' dynamics and educational experiences. Unfortunately, the data set does not provide information on the free/reduced lunch rates for the schools, which could offer insights into the socioeconomic status of the student populations and potential challenges or support needs.
