Harlem Elementary

The Harlem Elementary district in Montana consists of two schools - Harlem Elementary School and Harlem 7-8. Both schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with over 90% of students identifying as Native American. However, the schools have struggled to provide a high-quality education, as evidenced by their low state-wide rankings and ratings.

Neither school has received more than 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, and they rank in the bottom half of their respective school types in Montana. Harlem Elementary School is ranked 309 out of 332 elementary schools, while Harlem 7-8 is ranked 178 out of 187 middle schools. Despite the small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 14.1 and 10.9, the schools have not been able to translate this into strong academic performance. The lack of detailed data on free and reduced-price lunch rates also suggests the schools may be serving a disadvantaged student population.

Overall, the Harlem Elementary district appears to be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The high percentage of Native American students and the consistently low state-wide rankings and ratings indicate the need for further investigation into the unique challenges and needs of the district, as well as potential strategies to improve the educational outcomes for the students.
