Summary:
Arlee Elementary is the sole elementary school located in the Arlee Elementary School District in Arlee, Montana. Serving grades PK-6, the school has a total enrollment of 206 students, with a predominantly Native American student population (50%) and lower-than-average academic performance compared to the state.
Arlee Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Montana elementary schools and maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. The school's proficiency rates on the Montana State Tests are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 15.25% of students proficient in mathematics, 18.64% in reading, and 21.88% in science. This persistent low performance suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in improving student academic achievement.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $13,851 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, indicating that the issue may not be solely about resource allocation. The high proportion of Native American students and the lack of specific data on free and reduced-price lunch eligibility suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's challenges. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes at Arlee Elementary.
