Broadus Elementary

The Broadus Elementary district in Montana consists of two small schools: Broadus School, an elementary school serving grades PK-6, and Broadus 7-8, a middle school serving grades 7-8. Both schools have relatively small student populations, with Broadus School enrolling 112 students and Broadus 7-8 enrolling just 38 students.

The schools' performance, as measured by their state-wide rankings and ratings, is fairly average. Broadus School is ranked 207th out of 332 Montana elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, while Broadus 7-8 is ranked 144th out of 187 Montana middle schools and has a 1-star rating. Both schools have seen fluctuations in their rankings and ratings over the past three school years, with Broadus School dropping from a 2-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 1-star rating in 2021-2022 before improving to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023, and Broadus 7-8 declining from a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in 2022-2023.

The student populations of both schools are predominantly white, with Broadus 7-8 having an even higher percentage of white students (92.11%) compared to Broadus School (85.71%). The schools have small percentages of Hispanic and Native American students, but no other racial/ethnic groups are represented. Additionally, the data set does not provide information on the free/reduced lunch rates for either school, which is an important metric for understanding the socioeconomic status of the student population and potential challenges they may face. Overall, the Broadus Elementary district appears to be facing some challenges, and further investigation would be necessary to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
