Absarokee Elementary

The Absarokee Elementary district in Montana is home to two schools: Absarokee School, an elementary school, and Absarokee 6-8, a middle school. While the middle school is performing relatively well, ranking 44th out of 187 Montana middle schools, the elementary school is struggling, ranking 264th out of 332 elementary schools in the state.

The standout school in this district appears to be Absarokee 6-8, the middle school. It has a higher statewide ranking, a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.9, indicating smaller class sizes. In contrast, Absarokee School, the elementary school, has a lower statewide ranking and a 1-star rating.

Both schools have similar racial demographics, with a majority white student population. However, the data reveals a notable difference in their performance, suggesting that factors other than racial diversity or per-student spending (which is the same for both schools) may be contributing to the disparity. Further investigation into the underlying factors behind this performance gap would be warranted to better understand the strengths and challenges of the schools within the Absarokee Elementary district.
