Elementary Schools in Forsyth Elementary

Forsyth Elementary is the sole elementary school located in the Forsyth Elementary district in Forsyth, Montana. This school serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade and has a student population of 149. While Forsyth Elementary has demonstrated strong academic performance in mathematics and reading, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.

Forsyth Elementary stands out for its high proficiency rates in mathematics (70.93%) and reading (53.49%), significantly exceeding the statewide averages. This suggests the school is doing an effective job of educating its students in these core subject areas. However, the school's ranking has dropped from 49 out of 329 Montana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 104 out of 332 in the 2022-2023 school year, with a corresponding decrease in its rating from 4 stars to 3 stars. The reasons behind this decline in relative performance compared to other Montana elementary schools warrant further investigation.

Forsyth Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with over 18% of students identifying as non-White. This diversity could be a strength, providing opportunities for cross-cultural learning and understanding. Unfortunately, the data does not include information on the school's free/reduced lunch rate, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance. Overall, Forsyth Elementary appears to be a strong-performing school, but the recent decline in its statewide ranking is a potential area of concern that merits further analysis.
