Boulder Elementary

The Boulder Elementary district in Montana is home to two schools - Boulder Elementary School and Boulder 7-8. While both schools serve diverse student populations, they exhibit contrasting performance trends and characteristics.

Boulder Elementary School has a relatively large enrollment of 172 students in grades PK-6, with a diverse student body. However, the school's state-wide ranking and rating have fluctuated significantly, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023. This inconsistency suggests potential challenges in maintaining educational quality. In contrast, Boulder 7-8, with a smaller enrollment of 46 students in grades 7-8, has shown steady improvement in its state-wide ranking, moving from 147th to 63rd out of 187-200 Montana middle schools over the past 3 years. This consistent progress indicates the school is effectively addressing the needs of its students.

Both schools have diverse student populations, with a mix of racial and ethnic backgrounds represented. The smaller class sizes at Boulder 7-8 may contribute to its improved performance and ability to provide more personalized attention to students. Overall, the data highlights the contrasting performance and trends between the two schools within the Boulder Elementary district, suggesting the need for further investigation to identify the factors driving these differences and improve educational outcomes across the district.
