Summary:
The Columbia Falls Elementary district in Montana consists of two elementary schools and one middle school, serving students from kindergarten through 8th grade. While the schools share a district, they exhibit varying levels of performance and student demographics.
The standout schools in the district are Ruder Elementary and Columbia Falls Junior High School. Both schools have maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and rank in the top half of their respective school types in Montana. Ruder Elementary, in particular, has consistently performed well, ranking 135th out of 332 elementary schools in the state. In contrast, Glacier Gateway Elementary lags behind, ranking in the bottom quarter of Montana elementary schools with a 1-star rating.
The schools in the Columbia Falls Elementary district share a common characteristic: a predominantly white student population, ranging from 85.84% to 88.28%. This lack of diversity may be a concern and could impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students. Additionally, the data is missing information on the free and reduced lunch rates, which is an important metric for understanding the socioeconomic status of the student population.
