Summary:
The Lavina K-12 Schools district in Montana is home to a single elementary school, Lavina Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite the school's small size, with just 38 students, its academic performance has been a concern, with low proficiency rates in mathematics and reading compared to the state average.
Lavina Elementary's student-teacher ratio is relatively low at 9.7, and the school spends significantly more per student ($17,042) than the state average. However, these resources have not translated into strong academic outcomes, as the school's statewide ranking has declined from 140th out of 356 Montana elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 323rd out of 332 in the most recent year. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White (89.47%), with a small Hispanic population (10.53%), and the district as a whole has a high poverty rate, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges.
Overall, the data suggests that Lavina Elementary is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, despite the apparent investment of resources. Further analysis and support may be needed to address the underlying factors and improve student outcomes in this small, rural school within the Lavina K-12 Schools district.
