Elementary Schools in Nashua K-12 Schools

The Nashua K-12 Schools district in Montana is home to a single elementary school, Nashua School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. With a total enrollment of just 51 students, Nashua School has a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 7.5 compared to the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is consistently below the district and state averages in both mathematics and reading proficiency.

Nashua School's student population is predominantly White (64.71%), with a significant Native American population (21.57%) and a smaller percentage of Hispanic students (9.8%). Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $14,209, it has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Montana elementary schools over the past three years, indicating a need for a comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to address the underlying issues and improve student achievement.

While the small size of Nashua School may contribute to the individualized attention students receive, it does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. The school's challenges in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population suggest that a multifaceted approach, which considers the unique needs and demographics of the community, is necessary to raise student performance and ensure that all students at Nashua K-12 Schools have access to a quality education.
