Summary:
The Arlee Elementary district in Montana consists of two schools: Arlee Elementary and Arlee 7-8. Both schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with 50% of students identifying as Native American at each school. However, the schools are underperforming compared to other schools in Montana, with both Arlee Elementary and Arlee 7-8 ranked in the bottom third of their respective grade levels statewide and receiving a 1 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite having the same per-student spending of $13,851, the schools do not appear to be providing a high-quality education to their students. Arlee Elementary has 206 students, while Arlee 7-8 has 64 students, and both schools have a student-to-teacher ratio of around 10 to 1. However, the lack of data on free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how it might be impacting the schools' performance.
Overall, the Arlee Elementary district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Further analysis and investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the district's low performance and develop strategies for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of the large Native American student population.
