While the Bozeman Elementary School District as a whole performs exceptionally well, the racial makeup of the schools is predominantly white, with some schools having over 90% white students. This could indicate a lack of diversity or challenges in attracting and retaining a more diverse student population. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios vary significantly, with Morning Star School having the highest ratio and Bozeman Online Charter School having the lowest, which could impact the quality of education and individual attention students receive.
