LaMotte Elementary

The LaMotte Elementary district in Montana is home to two standout schools - LaMotte School, an elementary school, and LaMotte 6-8, a middle school. Both schools have consistently ranked among the top in their respective categories within the state, with LaMotte 6-8 being ranked the 2nd best middle school in Montana for the past three years.

LaMotte School has been a standout, ranking 19th out of 332 elementary schools in the state for the 2022-2023 school year and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a predominantly white student population (93.94%) and a small percentage of Native American students (3.03%). With a student-teacher ratio of 8.3, LaMotte School provides a more personalized learning environment for its 33 students. Similarly, LaMotte 6-8 has a 100% white student population and a student-teacher ratio of 7.1 for its 19 students, contributing to its exceptional academic performance.

Both schools have a consistent spending of $12,629 per student, which may be a factor in their academic success. However, the lack of data on free and reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations. Overall, the LaMotte Elementary district is home to two high-performing schools that are providing a quality education to their students, though the lack of diversity in the student populations is an area that may warrant further exploration.
