Summary:
The Medicine Lake K-12 Schools district in Montana has only one elementary school, Medicine Lake School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 48 students. The school's performance has been variable, with its ranking fluctuating between a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 to a 1-star rating in the current 2022-2023 school year.
Academically, Medicine Lake School's student proficiency rates in Mathematics (34.62%) and Reading (30.77%) are lower than both the district and statewide averages. This suggests potential areas for improvement in the school's educational programs. Additionally, the school has a predominantly White student population, with a relatively small percentage of minority students, which may raise questions about the school's ability to provide a diverse and inclusive learning environment.
Despite these concerns, Medicine Lake School has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 5.9, and its per-student spending of $19,972 is significantly higher than the national average. This high level of spending may indicate that the school is investing heavily in resources and support for its students, but it remains to be seen whether these investments are translating into improved academic outcomes.
