Summary:
The Vaughn Elementary district in Montana is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Vaughn School and Hillcrest Colony Elementary) and one middle school (Vaughn 7-8). While the schools share a district, they exhibit notable differences in their student populations, academic performance, and resource allocation.
Among the standout schools, Hillcrest Colony Elementary stands out with its high statewide ranking, placing it among the top 65 elementary schools in Montana. In contrast, Vaughn School and Vaughn 7-8 have lower rankings, indicating potential areas for improvement. Interestingly, Hillcrest Colony Elementary has a 100% white student population, while the other two schools have more diverse student bodies.
The data also reveals significant differences in spending per student, with Vaughn School spending nearly three times more per student than the other two schools. This disparity may contribute to the differences in academic performance and rankings observed across the district. Additionally, all three schools have relatively small enrollments, which could provide more personalized attention for students but also present challenges in resource allocation and extracurricular opportunities.
