Monforton Elementary

The Monforton Elementary district in Montana consists of three schools serving grades PK-8: Monforton Primary (PK-2), Monforton School (3-5), and Monforton 6-8 (6-8). The district is known for its consistently high-performing schools, with Monforton 6-8 ranking 9th out of 187 Montana middle schools and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the district as a whole excels, there are some notable differences between the schools. Monforton Primary stands out for its high percentage of white students (93.01%) and strong 5-star rating, indicating excellent performance for the youngest students in the district. In contrast, Monforton School has seen a slight decline in its state-wide ranking, from 25th in 2020-2021 to 43rd in 2022-2023, despite still being a high-performing school.

Across the district, student enrollment is relatively balanced, with each school serving around 220-230 students. However, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic diversity of the student population. Additionally, the consistently high percentage of white students in all three schools suggests a need to explore ways to increase diversity and representation within the Monforton Elementary district.
