Elementary Schools in Hamilton K-12 Schools

The Hamilton K-12 Schools district in Montana is home to two elementary schools: Daly School and Washington School. While both schools serve young students, the data suggests that Daly School is the standout performer, ranking in the top 30% of Montana elementary schools and boasting significantly higher proficiency rates on state math and reading tests compared to the district and state averages.

Daly School has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, suggesting a more personalized learning environment. In contrast, Washington School is a smaller school serving only pre-K and kindergarten students, and lacks the comprehensive data available for Daly School, making it difficult to assess its performance in comparison.

While both schools have a majority white student population, Daly School has a more racially diverse student body, with higher percentages of Hispanic, African American, Asian, and Native American students. This diversity could be an asset in providing a well-rounded educational experience. However, the lack of data on free and reduced lunch rates makes it challenging to fully understand the socioeconomic factors that may be influencing the schools' performance.
