Summary:
The Liberty Elementary School District in Montana is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the schools share some similarities, such as a 100% white student population and consistent per-student spending, there are notable differences in their performance and classroom environments.
The standout schools in the district are Hillside Colony School, which has the lowest student-to-teacher ratio of 9, and Rimrock Colony School, with a ratio of 12. In contrast, Liberty Elementary has the highest ratio of 31, potentially indicating larger class sizes. The district's lowest-performing school is Riverview Elementary, which ranks 330th out of 332 Montana elementary schools.
Despite the consistent per-student spending across all 4 schools, the significant variation in student-to-teacher ratios and statewide rankings suggests that factors beyond funding may be contributing to the differences in educational outcomes. The complete lack of racial and ethnic diversity in the student populations is also a noteworthy finding that warrants further investigation into the factors shaping the demographics of these schools.
