Choteau Elementary

The Choteau Elementary district in Montana consists of two schools: Choteau School, an elementary school, and Choteau 7-8, a middle school. While the schools have seen some fluctuations in their statewide rankings, there are a few notable insights about their performance and student demographics.

Choteau School has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 100th out of 356 Montana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 252nd out of 332 in 2022-2023. This trend warrants further investigation to understand the factors contributing to the school's declining performance. In contrast, Choteau 7-8 has seen fluctuations in its ranking, going from 82nd out of 200 in 2020-2021 to 143rd out of 190 in 2021-2022, and then back up to 98th out of 187 in 2022-2023, suggesting inconsistent or variable factors influencing the middle school's performance.

Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with Choteau School having 90.5% white students and Choteau 7-8 having 87.27% white students. However, there is some racial diversity, with African American, Hispanic, and Native American students represented in both schools. Analyzing how this diversity is reflected in the schools' programs, resources, and student outcomes could provide valuable insights. Unfortunately, the data set does not include information on the schools' free and reduced lunch rates, which would be crucial for understanding the socioeconomic status of the student populations and its potential impact on the schools' performance.
