DeSmet Elementary

The DeSmet Elementary district in Montana is home to two schools: DeSmet School, an elementary school, and DeSmet 6-8, a middle school. While the schools have seen fluctuations in their statewide rankings over the past three years, they both currently hold 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger, with DeSmet 6-8 ranking 66th out of 187 Montana middle schools and DeSmet School ranking 110th out of 332 Montana elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

The schools differ in their student demographics, with DeSmet School having a higher percentage of white students (81.82%) compared to DeSmet 6-8, which has a more diverse population with 66.67% white, 15.38% Hispanic, and 7.69% Native American students. Both schools have relatively small enrollments, with DeSmet School having 88 students and DeSmet 6-8 having 39 students. The student-teacher ratios also vary, with DeSmet School having a ratio of 8.2 and DeSmet 6-8 having a ratio of 11.4.

While the data provides insights into the schools' performance and demographics, it lacks information on the free and reduced lunch rates, which would be helpful in understanding the socioeconomic status of the student populations. Overall, the DeSmet Elementary district offers two small, modestly performing schools with some differences in their student compositions, but more comprehensive data would be needed to fully evaluate the strengths and areas for improvement of these educational institutions.
