Deerfield Elementary

Deerfield Elementary is a small, rural school district in Montana, consisting of a single elementary school, Deerfield School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of just 13 students. The district is ranked 260 out of 300 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.

Deerfield School stands out for its lack of diversity, with a 100% white student population, and its consistently low performance, ranking in the bottom third of Montana elementary schools over the past three years. The school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 could present both advantages and disadvantages in terms of educational resources and personalized attention. However, without specific data on the school's free and reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to determine the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting the students' educational experiences and outcomes.

Overall, the data suggests that Deerfield Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. While the small school size and low student-teacher ratio could be assets, the district's consistently low rankings and ratings, as well as the lack of diversity, indicate that further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to support the students and improve the school's performance.
