Summary:
The Marion Elementary district in Montana has only one elementary school, Marion School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, it has consistently ranked in the bottom third of elementary schools in the state and received a below-average 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Marion School's student population is predominantly white, with very low representation of minority groups. The school's academic performance is significantly below the state averages, with only 18.67% of students proficient or better in mathematics and reading, compared to the state averages of 36.59% and 46.03%, respectively. The school's science proficiency rate of 22.22% also falls short of the state average of 37.03%.
Despite the higher spending per student, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for a more targeted approach to improving student learning. The data suggests that Marion School may be facing systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed, and the lack of diversity in the student population could also be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance.
