Elementary Schools in Darby K-12 Schools

The Darby K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one elementary school, Darby School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school's student-teacher ratio is lower than the state average, its academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates below the Montana average in mathematics and reading.

Darby School's overall state ranking has declined over the past three years, from 197 out of 332 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 271 out of 356 in 2020-2021, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 2 to 1. The school's student population is predominantly White, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups, which could be an area to explore in terms of ensuring equitable access and opportunities for all students.

While Darby School's performance in science is slightly above the state average, the school's declining performance and ranking suggest that it may be facing challenges in supporting student learning, particularly in core academic areas like mathematics and reading. Further investigation and data collection would be necessary to gain a more complete understanding of the school's strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
