Summary:
The Laurel Elementary district in Montana is home to three elementary schools: Fred W Graff School, West School, and South School. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 6th grade and are part of the Laurel Elementary district.
Among the three schools, West School stands out for its historical academic excellence, ranking as high as 34th out of 234 Montana elementary schools in the mid-2000s. However, its current ranking has dropped to 181st out of 329, suggesting the school may have faced challenges in maintaining its high performance over time. In contrast, Fred W Graff School currently has the highest percentage of students proficient or better in both Mathematics (32%) and Reading (32%) compared to the district and state averages, indicating it is providing effective instruction and support for its students.
Demographically, the three schools have relatively homogeneous student populations, with a majority white student body and low percentages of minority students. This lack of diversity may be an area for the Laurel Elementary district to explore and address. Additionally, the data set is missing some key information, such as specific free/reduced lunch rates and spending per student for Fred W Graff School and South School, limiting the ability to make comprehensive comparisons across all schools.
