Summary:
The Golden Ridge Elementary district in Montana is home to a single elementary school, Golden Ridge School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 44 students. While the school has seen fluctuations in its performance and ranking over the past few years, the latest data suggests it is facing challenges in terms of academic proficiency and overall school quality.
Golden Ridge School's student population is entirely White, indicating a lack of racial and ethnic diversity. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are below the statewide averages in mathematics (33.33% vs. 36.59%), reading (36.36% vs. 46.03%), and science (25% vs. 37.03%), raising concerns about the quality of education it provides. Despite relatively high spending per student ($8,767), the school's academic performance has declined, with its ranking dropping from 104 out of 356 schools (4-star rating) in 2020-2021 to 243 out of 332 schools (1-star rating) in the current school year.
Overall, the data suggests that Golden Ridge School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, diversity, and overall school quality. While the school's small size and high student-teacher ratio (11:1) may offer some advantages, the declining performance and below-average proficiency rates are areas of concern that warrant further investigation and potential interventions to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for its students.
